November!

I have been SOOO lazy about blogging lately. I used to be good at getting pictures up once a week or so.. now I'm shooting for at least once monthly. So here are the highlights from November. :)

Lance and Tassia came for a visit--we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them, but it was great to see you guys!!

My sister Andrea and her husband Sam came out from California to spend Thanksgiving with us and we all went to the big extended family gathering that my mom's family does every year. Here are a few pictures of that:

Andrea and Sam

Kelley and Nate

Josie playing with cousins--well, kids of my cousins, so you figure out whether they are 2nd, or 3rd or whatever cousins :P

Josie with Grandpa and Grandma R.

Back at our house, Andrea was Josie's new favorite person. She chose her over mom.

I also have TONS of videos and just not enough time/space to post them all. Here are a couple of my favorites. I think they give you a good glimpse into her personality.

Finally, our favorite new thing that Josie started doing this month: smelling thing! I know, it sounds silly, but you ask Josie if something is stinky and she checks it out for you. Example:

Me: Josie, is your shoe stinky?

Josie: (Pulls her shoe off, sticks her nose in it, two sniffs) Stinky!

She will do that to just about anything, including Mom and Dad (we are both usually stinky according to her). If you aren't stinky, you get a smile instead. She's such a funny little monkey and we are so happy to have her!!

See you next month.. :)
