Grandad, Nana, Jon Michael, Anne Parker and Aunt Budgie (my sister) all came to stay for Thanksgiving. Jon Michael and Anne Parker bravely slept in the basement with the crickets (though I have now become a master cricket killer) and poor Budgie slept on the couch... which meant she got to wake up with the girls!

Hannah and Shiloah are also really into coloring with some "special markers" on shoe papers (I have a pad of paper that looks like shoes). Hannah will lay on the kitchen floor and Shiloah will imitate her, it's very serious stuff! Hannah loves to take her time and fill in the entire shoe with color and she has even started coloring within the lines of regular coloring papers now! She's so focused and intent on her "very hard work" while coloring and will often say to me, "Not yet, Mommy, I have to finish this part!"
