November Week 4

The week of Thanksgiving, we closed on our new house, camped in it without furniture for a few days, pulled the trailer down the Natchez Trace back to its home at the hunting camp and spent a couple of days with Nana, Grandaddy, Jim, Fran, MV, and Janey.

 Last night sleeping in the trailer in Decatur.

 Coming into the house for the first time after closing.

 Took Christmas card pictures in the back yard.

 Stopped by Wheeler Wildlife Refuge to see what 20,000 cranes looks like.  There are big birds everywhere but it's hard to get a good picture that shows that.

 Ben brought some things to begin working on his room.

 Playing Headbands.  Thankfully the former owners left this chairback bar stools and their refrigerator.  We were ready for our couch by Wednesday, though.

 Traditional hunting picture on Friday.

Hanging out at the camp Friday night before bed.  We stayed in our trailer and Jim and MV stayed in the cabin with Grandaddy. 

November Week 3

The third week of November was our last regular week in Southaven.  We made the most of it going to CMOM, the zoo, our last week of CC with our Southaven group, and on a trail ride.

 At small group at the Greenslades' house, while the adults were inside the kids were outside roasting acorns on a shovel over the fire and eating them. Mollie Grace did her presentation on acorns.  We roasted them in the oven and she got her classmates to try them.  They were disgusting!

 Annie got to ride Ranger by herself.  We went on a trailride with Meredith, Luke and Caroline for Mollie Grace's last day at River Run.

 Each kid packed their box themself for Operation Christmas child.

November Week 2

November was a busy month with lots of time spent with friends and visiting our favorite places in the Memphis area.

 Annie's last soccer game at First Baptist Nesbit.

 Attended the Hernando Veteran's Day parade with our CC friends.  It was drizzling when we arrived but didn't rain hard on us.

 My CC mom friends gave me this wooden sign at my going away party.

 We went on a field trip to Memphis Stone and Gravel.

 Soccer awards night.

 Next to last riding lesson with Luke and Caroline at River Run Eventing.
