In November we celebrated the boys' birthdays. Ibrahim's dad came up for a visit for his birthday. We went to dinner, had cake and ice cream at home, and of course, presents! It was a very enjoyable weekend.
Cameron's birthday came later that month. He and several friends went ice skating, then came home for video games, pizza, cake and ice cream and more PRESENTS! His friends stayed over night and everyone in the family was tired from the all night fun.
We also celebrated Thanksgiving in November. My dearest friend, who is a sister to me, Adrienne, came down from Washington and cooked our family an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, since I was still recovering from spinal surgery. I am truly blessed to have some wonderful friends that I consider my sisters.
November also brought with it a new addition to our family. We adopted our Labrador puppy, Molly from a local rescue group- Must Love Dogs NW. She is growing very fast, and has quickly become part of the family. She and Rascal, our cat, are still learning how to get along with each other. Molly wants to play and now is big enough to tackle the cat, so we're teaching her that's not acceptable behavior. Training a puppy has been an interesting and challenging experience. Were it not for my loving husband and his unending support and time spent caring for the dog, things would be completely crazy! He has been wonderfully supportive and giving of his time in caring for the puppy's many needs. She is now crate trained to sleep in her crate at night, but still needs to go out once during the night. We're still working on the housebreaking, but it's more success than accidents at this point, so that's great. We love having Molly in our family, despite having to take her to the Emergency Vet the third day we had her due to a parasite infection. The joys of pet ownership... :) We love our new "baby"!
