November, in a nutshell

by Maggie on November 23, 2014

I cannot believe that we are almost to the end of John’s Master’s Degree program. He and I embarked on our journey of earning our degrees when Ellie was 6 months old. I finished 4 days before Tessa was born. In less than a week, John will join the club. He tells me that, at 67 pages, he is done writing and that all he has left are some citations (which, at this point, I’d really like to just do for him so that it can just be done, but of course, I won’t, because playing with Tessa and Ellie is more fun than researching APA Style). Craziness (and crankiness) hit their highest point last week and we’re coasting into the finish line now… Here are some pictures of life lately…

Did I post this yet? I can’t remember, but it’s worth repeating anyway..

Trying to stay warm in our most recent snap of cold weather: Tessa loves to play “sooooo big!” We celebrated my nephew’s second birthday… this is my sister, sister-in-law, and I with our kiddos… Sticking out our tongues in solidarity with Tessa 🙂 So serious today… A little happier in this one. 🙂 The media center at my school is having a “Shelfie” contest… Here’s our entry… We put up our Christmas decorations a little early (sorry, Mom) and Ellie decided that Baby Jesus needed a check-up from our dear friend Doc McStuffins. Holding her own bottle is super hard work!! Sister love. ❤
