Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in November:
Mon 11/1/10: I was car hunting today. Found some good deals. Hopefully one will work out for our family.
Tue 11/2/10: I began crocheting Christmas infant hats to try to sell on ksl.com. They are so adorable! I wish I had another little infant to display them on.
Wed 11/3/10: We took family photos today with our family photographer, Jeana Bird. Lizzy looked so adorable in her new little gray and black dress, and Emma looked great wearing the crochet hat I made for her. Fun times!
Thu 11/4/10: Emma was struggling with her spelling words tonight, and I could tell she was very discouraged. I took some time help her, which was a challenge at first, because Emma doesn't always believe in her capabilities. I loved watching the moment on Emma's face when I finally convinced her that she COULD memorize the words, and that she WAS a smart girl. It meant a lot to me to see her believe in herself again.
Fri 11/5/10: Lizzy and I had a fabulous morning playing outside in the pretty autumn weather. We blew bubbles, played in the leaves, played with the dog and the kitty, and went for a walk around the block.
Sat 11/6/10: Brad helped Marilyn and James move their furniture to their new house, and Lizzy and I accompanied him. We are happy Marilyn will be living closer by!
Sun 11/7/10: Little Jacob Loveless was blessed by his daddy today. We drove up to North Ogden to be there to witness and celebrate this special occasion with his family. Jacob was so tiny and adorable. Absolutely precious!
Mon 11/8/10: Our new car passed! YAY! And we got it registered! I'm so thankful everything turned out alright. It was such a stressful weekend-- one scare after another with that car. Hopefully things keep getting better.
Tue 11/9/10: I watched "An Affair to Remember" for the first time. I could see why it's a classic, although I thought the second half was a little dramatic for my taste. Still, it was a fun movie to watch. I love Carey Grant and Deborah Kerr.
Wed 11/10/10: I had lots of cuddles with Lizzy and Emma today! I love my girls.
Thu 11/11/10: I learned how to crochet pom poms today. Very cute! And I convinced Scott and Emma to get away from the TV and video games to go play in the leaves.
Fri 11/12/10: Today was a wonderful ending to a very stressful week. The first nice thing that happened was Sister Churchtown brought over some yummy shredded pork and rolls for a late lunch today. Was it inspired? Yep, I believe so. We needed a kind act of service today. Second, we spent the evening with Brad's Aunt Marian, cousins Christopher and Natalie, Uncle Gordon, Tricky, and Travis. It was so nice to play games and laugh.

Sat 11/13/10: Brad, David, and I made our home spotlessly clean today for the High Priest dinner. Our new table looks great, too! It was fun having members of our ward come over.
Sun 11/14/10: The nicest part of my day was cuddling with Bradley. He's wonderful!
Mon 11/15/10: Pumpkin shakes are divine! I love autumn weather.
Tue 11/16/10: I did not let crazy phone calls upset me tonight! YAY! I love my husband. He's such a strong man and a good father. I admire his self-composure and how well he handles difficult situations.
Wed 11/17/10: Emma is doing so well in school! Her grades have improved! We got excellent feedback from her teacher tonight. Emma is such a hardworking girl.
Thu 11/18/10: Lizzy helped me bring in groceries for the first time today. She carried a box of mushrooms, two loaves of bread, and two containers of whipped cream. She's such a good little helper!
Fri 11/19/10: A note to myself-- Fixing the dishwasher after your hubby filled it with the wrong soap doesn't have to be a big chore. If you get a little creative while fixing it with him, it can actually be really, really fun!
Sat 11/20/10: Brad, Lizzy, and I went to the Second Annual Hill Pie Family Night. It was great! We loved eating yummy pie with wonderful friends. When we got home, I got a phone call from someone responding to my KSL ad. We sold all three rats, plus their cage and supplies, for $50.
Sun 11/21/10: Scott and Emma both rested their heads on my lap and shoulders in Sacrament meeting today. I loved tousling their hair and rubbing their backs.
Mon 11/22/10: We had our gratitude lesson tonight for Family Home Evening. We drew our "I'm Thankful" pictures, which we do every year. I loved the things Scott & Emma came up with.
Tue 11/23/10: A BLIZZARD! Actually, it wasn't much of a blizzard. Lizzy and I enjoyed watching the snow storm safely on our living room couch tonight. Emma, Brad, Lizzy and I also watched the finale of Dancing with the Stars. Hooray for Jennifer Grey!
Wed 11/24/10: The cousins are over tonight, having a sleepover with Scott and Emma. Lizzy is thrilled that they are here too! Brad made a lovely fire in the fireplace. The giant log made the house smokey.
Thu 11/25/10: Thanksgiving was fabulous! We had dinner at Aunt Marian's house, and Zach and Amanda were there. The food was fantastic, and we enjoyed playing UNO, Catch Phrase, and Nerts. Scott & Emma liked playing with Charlotte & Aksel, and playing on the Wii. Lizzy liked putting on Charlotte's boots and drinking water out of her wine glass.
Fri 11/26/10: Brad, Scott, and I went to the movies to watch "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Charlotte and Aksel slept over at our house in the evening. Scott, Emma, and Lizzy enjoyed playing with their youngest cousins.
Sat 11/27/10: Most of the family came over this morning to spend time with Amanda and Tricky before they left. It was sad seeing Tricky leave. We are going to miss him. The rest of us had lunch and played a game of Mormon Bridge.
Sun 11/28/10: It snowed all day today, and it's still snowing now. It's very pretty outside.
Mon 11/29/10: I enjoyed our Family Home Evening tonight. We talked about having more family activities this Christmas season, and less gift-buying. Looking forward to it!

Tue 11/30/10: I taught Emma how to single-crochet tonight! With a little more practice, she's going to be a fantastic crocheter.
