More of Emmett "helping" in the kitchen. This time we made brownies.

Bonding over snacks.

Pictures I get while I'm at work.

Looking back through my pictures it looks like November was fairly uneventful. Tyson is working from home full-time to help me out while I deal with horrific Sacroiliac Joint pain. I'm seeing a pain management specialist and taking prescribed pain medication. Not fun. I am still working part-time 3 days a week. Presley & Mason are both busy with school. Arlo is busy learning to read through his preschool's curriculum. Emmett is busy keeping his parents busy. Everyone is doing well and we're anxious for baby brother to get here. Now on to the holidays!
