November is a month I like to be home. Seems like the "quiet after the storm!" Summer is always so busy. However, this November, Danielle moved home. I worked a few days at school and then came the Thanksgiving break. The day before Thanksgiving, we decided to visit her and help her settle in. So, off we went. We arrived to many boxes all over the place so Danielle and I go work. Oh, this after we shopped for Thanksgiving dinner. Once the work was done, and during, we were cooking and getting our turkey in the oven. Needless to say, we ate very late! During the rest of our visit, we put Rock to work, hanging shelves, pictures, moving furniture and all the things Dads do. I shopped for her and just spent my time organizing her apartment. She had to go back to work after Thanksgiving. The kids went to Akumal in Mexico with Cliff, Sue and at least thirty of Brian's family members. They came home two days before Rock and I left for home. So, we got to see our little family and hear all about Amya in Mexico. They had a wonderful time. I guess one night in a bar they were giving free shots to women who got up on the bar and danced. Little Ms. Amya had to join in of course, so at her request, she was put up on the bar and proceeded to entertain the whole bar crowd as well as people coming in from the street to watch her dancing around the pole and drinking her Virgin shots!! Watch out for her pole dance around the lamp in Danielle's bedroom, following during our Chrismukkah visit with the kids. Another exciting event this month was that we purchased our new Nissan Pathfinder in Idaho and went to a concert in Spokane to celebrate this event! We saw Manheim Steamroller who are a full instrumental group and whom I have loved for years.

Oops, first things first!

Yeah, I wish I was back in the ocean in Mexico, but it is water!
