November 2010 Favorite and Not So Favorite Things

Well let's start with my least favorite things about November 2010 so we can end on a positive note.

1) Brenna got REALLY sick the week we were supposed to go to Disney for a week.  Her fever was so so high and she had strep throat and was just miserable.  Brett had taken off work for the whole week so we could go to Disney and have a nice vacation and we ended up in the house all week taking care of Brenna all day and all night.  She was waking up every couple of hours at night and it was NOT FUN.  Poor thing did get better in time to go to Disney for the weekend though!  I was very thankful to have Brett home to help take care of Brenna for that week but sad that he pretty much wasted 4 vacation days.

2)  Tonsillitis!  I got tonsillitus during Thanksgiving and was MISERABLE for 8 straight days.  On the plus side, I did lost 2 pounds rather than gain the normal 5 or 6 during Thanksgiving.  On the negative, no Thanksgiving food or leftovers to enjoy :-(

3)  Brett has a PE job and his work at PSI has him working WAY too much.  He probably averages working 16 hours a day (weekends too).  No joke.  Can't wait for him to cut back.  We miss him.  But let's be a pollyanna for a second and count our blessings that he has a job!  And one that he loves!  I should take this one off the list...

Ok, now on to the happy and good times of November 2010.

1)  Disney!!!  We were able to bring Brenna to DisneyWorld despite her not feeling well in the days prior.  Post all about that will be up shortly. 

2)  Supportive Family.  I'm so lucky to have parents and parents-in-law who can help with Brenna when I'm sick.  Brenna spent a day with the Epsteins and her cousins Nick and Alex over Thanksgiving when I was feeling so crummy and then she spent 3 days and nights with my mom and dad later that week.  I have no doubt that I had to take care of her on top of being sick with tonsillitis, I would have been sick for twice as long.  Here's Brenna and Nick and Alex having a photo shoot at Grandma and Grandpa's.



Great grandma Ruth (Bubbee) and all her grandkids

3) Marina's 2nd Birthday Party which was ladybug themed.  So fun!




4) Playdates at our place.  Specifically a Megablok-themed playdate that I hosted which was sponsored due to my other blog (http://www.thismommyloves.com/)






5) Happy Birthday, Mac Luber!  November 29, 2010, Mark and Jill welcomed Baby Mac Alan Luber.  Can't wait to see them over New Years and Meet Baby Mac in person.  And for the record, I guessed his weight exactly to the oz!  7lbs 1 oz


Such a proud big sis!

6) Cooler Florida winter temperatures which make it fun to go for walks outside!

7) Christmastime is here!  Decorations are everywhere, the tree is up and Brenna got to welcome Santa as he arrived at our local mall. 


Kisses from Trey while Santa arrived and the kids had milk and cookies.
