Thankfuls in November

November has started out just as busy as the rest of the months, but with a focus on being grateful.  It isn't difficult to look around and be grateful for what we have been given.  Every breath is truly a gift.

On November 1st we woke up before dawn and headed down to Provo to pick up my nephew and then drove down to California.  We stopped in St. George for a visit with Nana and Papa and some breakfast and then continued onward towards Mortensen Manor and then on to San Diego.

After being in 30-40*F weather the warmth of San Diego felt especially wonderful.  It was such a fast trip, but it was such a great reunion.  We were able to see lots of our friends and enjoy the nice warm weather.  We are so glad that we could celebrate Kaitlyn in Mark's wedding with them.  I'm so grateful for the friends I had while living in CA.  They may it so much more fun.

We had dinner at Corvette Diner.  It was so fun to be down near the water!

The Triplets reunited.  These girls hadn't seen each other in over a year and didn't want to spend one minute apart.  When it was time for us to leave the girls just cried and cried (Lily continued to cry a couple days after we returned.)

 Lily just loves her old babysitters.  They really were something special and we loved them being part of our lives down in San Diego.  I couldn't have asked for better girls to babysit my kids while they were growing up.  They were such a blessing to our family!!
