Finally...an update!

Ok...it has been a while since I posted on here ... I know! I am sorry. I really didn't realize how long it had been but I am now back to update you all. November was a good, productive month. We have the kitchen pretty much done with just some finishing work to do...

Since this picture was taken Larry has put up crown molding and we have added some decorations....

Talmage finished his soccer season and got a medal for his efforts...

And...Abby the Wonder Dog got sick at the kennel while she was there over Thanksgiving.


Oh...and over Thanksgiving we went to Rhode Island for dinner with the Glad Family and Sharon....

How was your November?
