November went so FAST!!!

What a busy month November has been! I decided to take Banana back to Nebraska early so that we could spend extra time with family. I had a blast. Banana on the other hand a rough start and then it got better and then it got worst again and just before we left she started to get better again.

Our first visit was to my moms house. It was fun getting to spend that time with her. My mom turn fifty a couple weeks after we were there and I knew we were going to miss it so I decided to throw a surprise party. It was a lot of fun decorating and seeing how happy my mom was. It was just a small party with one of her friends, Larry and me. I ordered my moms favorite pizza, Canadian bacon with green olives. I had so much fun getting to know Larry better and seeing EVERYONE. We also spent some time with my dad, grandpa and Christy. My dad and I were able to go through some of grandpa's things and get the house cleaned up. . We got the chance to have a good visit with Mari and Mae. It took Banana about three days to finally get warmed up.

We then ventured to Lincoln where we got to spend some time with Shayla and Heather. I always love hanging out with Shayla. I am sad that I am so far away from her :(. I spent some days at my in laws alone. I was really nervous at first. But actually it was a lot of fun! By this time we were missing daddy a lot.
Unfortunately Banana wasn't the happiest baby once we got to Lincoln. On Monday she started throwing up. Banana has never thrown up before and she did not like it. After 2-3 days of that she started to have diarrhea. That lasted a while. She only wanted her momma and she didn't eat much which meant she was up about every hour. Not fun over the holiday week.

We are back home now and it has almost been a week. She is just now getting to the point of normal. Since we got home she has been so attached to me. Today has been a good day for her. As much as I LOVE spending time with my family and in a long period of time, it is really hard on the little ones. We were back for about 2 1/2 weeks. I am so sad to say that we didn't take a single picture while we were back :(. I HATE THAT!! I love pictures but for some reason we never take them. I wanted to get some family pictures for a Christmas card  but we never did. I use to LOVE to send out Christmas cards with a picture but it has been a few years now. Aaron doesn't really like pictures and I always space it off.

O well I guess we still have time!
