November 2021 Happenings

 

The weather this November has been unreal!  We went disc golfing in Ankeny on a double date with Tanya and John.  Look, I'm in short sleeves!  Then we went out to eat and sat on the patio.


The girls got to celebrate Tanya's birthday just the way she likes, by hiking.  We went to Reactor woods and then out to eat (on the patio) at Dublin Bay for supper.


Carter's high school football career ended this month.  It is amazing to think many of these boys have played together since 3rd grade.  He gave it his all and we are super proud of him.


To celebrate Shanna's birthday we went to the Lynch cabin in Minnesota for the weekend.  On Saturday we hiked in St. Cloud and then had lunch and drinks at a brewery.  Then we walked around to other breweries and shops in the town.  



This is what we were living in for about 6 weeks.  We moved in with Mom at 121 K Ave. the weekend before October 5 and Mom moved out the week of Thanksgiving.  I really enjoyed living with mom, we watched shows after supper together and it was nice having her there to talk whenever we wanted to.  We both cried when she left this house to spend the night at her new townhome.  Overall, everyone did really well.  Matthew found a space to have his alone time and we slept in the back bedroom.  Lanie had to sleep on the floor in the downstairs family room and Carter slept on the floor of his new room.  Slowly we started to put things away as we packed up. mom's stuff. 



Anyone for a little Thanksgiving poker?  Thanksgiving was at 121 K Ave. this year, probably at mom's townhome next year.
