November, Movember, still-waking-up-at-5am-vember

Whomever thought of the daylight savings, obviously did not have kids.  Or at least think of how Alexi and Ava don't care to adjust their internal clocks.  With or without sleep, we LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY.  We enjoy spending all our time with them.  If its taking Austin, Ava, and Alexi to the circus, toy fairs, or just playing outside - we love every moment with them.  Thanksgivings were family feasts, our shared-bday weekend was bountiful, and Grandpa's retirement party weekend was exciting.  Oh.... and Alexi was the cutest darn panda for Halloween.

We don't eat McDonald's often, but when they do, its for the Happy Meal hats

quick pit stop at Daddy's work

Does this black eye look bad?  Alexi runs so fast, that his feet will come out from underneath him
