November

This year was a tough animal year.  June was when we lost Raymour and November is when we lost Lily.  She was 17 years old.  She wasn't eating well and we noticed she had lost weight.  We took her to the vet to run blood work and it showed she had a very elevated white blood count.  That could mean 2 things:  Cancer, or a bad infection.  We gave her anitibiotics and were going to recheck her blood work in a week.  Unfortunately we didn't have that much time.  I was syringe feeding her and giving her SQ fluids to help.  She just got weaker and we didn't want to see her suffer.  We miss you Lily!

Emma was in her High School musical this year:  Shrek!!

Just some good ones of the kids

This was the first time we ever saw a buck in the back field.  We barely see any deer so it was pretty exciting to see this guy!

I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time!  Jim, Jason, Heather and the kids all came.  I didn't get any pictures but we had a great meal.  Jeff helped with the stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce.  Everyone stayed the day and went home at night to celebrate the next day with Heather's family.  

This year Grant didn't want a birthday party.  He just wanted Grama, Papa, and Papa Jim to come up to celebrate.  He requested KFC and an Oreo ice cream cake he has been eyeing up for awhile at the grocery store.  We had a great day celebrating! 

On his actual birthday he wanted to go bowling.   Can't believe you are already 8 Grant!

 We Love You!!!
