2023, November 13-19

Mid-November brought new activities and rain. 

We took Ferg to the vet for another follow-up visit and a booster for one of his vaccines. Hopefully we won't need to go for another year. This old cat is getting expensive!

Here is Landon dutifully studying using his phone. Oh, wait. He's watching YouTube.  

Eliza had BUH in the afternoon. Hallie took Kai for a walk at Bartholomew Park while she waited. 

This photo makes Kai not look like Kai. 

Eliza learned how to make a pumpkin roll. She was kind to share with Hallie. Both girls thought it was very yummy!

On Tuesday, Landon had a doctor's appointment. He's now 5' 9" in shoes. Eliza had to tag along, so Hallie had both kids get their flu shots. Our neighbor used to work for our pediatrician. Julie has since moved, and it was definitely different going to the doctors. 

Mike went to a workshop to finish his application process to be a substitute teacher in the Nebo School District while the applications he has sent in continue to go through their process. If nothing else, subbing will get him a foot in the door at the district.  

We made real progress on the Disney Parks puzzle this week, finishing it by Friday. 

A lady Hallie knows boards horses a couple of blocks over, and she gave Eliza permission to pet and interact with them. The horses' names are Jack and Raunchy. Jack is not so sure about us coming over. Raunchy is more amicable to Eliza.

Hallie has been helping collect tickets for the local high school musical. On Friday, we went with the Melos (our Chilean friends). Three of Hallie's students were in the musical Newsies, and one of our good friends, GianMarco, played Crutchie, one of the leads.

Eliza got more time with the new horses on Saturday and Sunday. 

Hallie took Priscilla over to Ream's on Saturday, and they bought Thanksgiving goods and popcorn. In Chile, they're more used to sweet rather than savory popcorn, and at the musical the Melos were surprised when the popcorn they bought at the concessions stand was salty. Priscilla bought several sweet mixes at Reams. Hallie has so much living vicariously through her friend. It has been a good new friendship for both women.

Hallie and Eliza went to Gma and Gpa M's to help out with Christmas cards. We didn't do our Sunday Social due to inclement weather. The Sunday Social may actually be coming to an end due to our weather changing. It sure was fun while it lasted. Before you know it, the fun will be here again!
