Hello November,
It is nice to see you, although I am not quite ready for you yet. You have so much to offer, Thanksgiving, and remembering those that I love. I am sorry that I gave you a bad rap for the last couple of years. This year I am going to try to see you a little differently. It is not your fault that a few of the people that left us left in your time, and I should not hold you accountable for that.
This year you are going to be great! You are bringing with you new children to watch, and I thank you.
I am thankful that you are bringing cooler weather, although you can try to get December to keep it's snow to itself, we are not quite ready for that. You have started to take away all the brilliant colors of October and place them on the ground for us to clean up. I don't mind, I like to hear the crunch of the dry leaves beneath my feet. You also will bring my Christmas Cactus back to bloom! This always makes me smile, as it helps me to remember Grandpa.
Welcome November, once again.

November
November is coming, it is only several days away. November is no longer one of my favorite months of the year. Yes, it is the start of the Holiday Season, but for me it is a month of loss.
Two years ago this November I lost two people that I have known all my life, and a dear friend that I only got to know for a short time.
In the middle of November it all started, my Aunt Mary Bennett lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer. 5 days later my friend Miranda lost her fight with Leukemia. Four days later my Grandpa Jack passed away in his sleep.
I know in my heart that I should celebrate and remember these beautiful people for who they were and what they had done in my life, but sometimes that is a hard thing to do. I am going to try to blog about them during the month of November and I am going to do my best to remember them this month and try not to let it get me down. So, if you see me and I am not quite myself during this next month this is why.
Miranda, Aunt Mary and Grandpa you are loved and missed very much!

Adventures in Potty Training
Fun title, huh? Well this is the the little adventure that Ellyn and I are on right now (among other things).
Day one- we did pretty good, just a little dribble in the panties in the evening.
Day two- we did very good! We ventured to the zoo in our panties (and fully clothed).
Day three- we are doing good so far. It is mid day and we are still clean and dry! We even ventured out on a play date to McDonald's, shopping, and then tot he bank- out all morning and not one accident!
I am so proud of my little one. I am glad to see the Pull-Ups go to only bedtime use. She still wakes up some mornings wet, but mostly she wakes up dry, which means she can hold her pee longer than her mom! And I am okay with that!
So, I am getting ready to say good bye to the baby years and really getting on the excited for the big girl years to come.
Anyone have a baby I can borrow?
