Catch Up Part 1

So it's been a while since I posted, and I'm going to change that.

Let's start our catch-up with Thanksgiving.

This year we went to East Texas to visit both sets of grandparents. We stayed with Allen's parents and drove over to my parents to visit them.

When we first got to my parents house, Dad was up on a ladder putting up their outside Christmas lights. Jo just had to help Papa - especially since there was a ladder involved.

Eventually, she made it inside to see Granny.

Phoebe was thrilled to play with her cousins. They all went outside for batting practice. She got her timing down and managed to hit a few pretty far. Don't worry. It was a wiffle ball. Otherwise the cars would not have been parked there.


Jo enjoyed spending time with Allen's parents what with the doting and attention and love and candy and food and all. (Jo is eating a piece of candy cane in this picture.)


You could say the same for Phoebe.
