Weekly Window into our Lives- Nov 1-7, 2020

I'm sitting here bundled up in a warm robe and blanket, listening to the rain patter outside, and I cant help but think, "It FINALLY feels like fall in California!"  I didn't realize how much I would miss the changing seasons. True, Utah has bipolar seasons that can change in a matter of minutes, but there is something so fun about the changing habits that come with crisp weather: wearing boots and scarves, sipping hot chocolate, snuggling under a blanket on the couch.  So I am enjoying today's rainy day while reminiscing of events from this week.

This week the girls played with play dough for the first time. After having established the rules of no eating and no throwing, they both loved squishing the play dough in their hands. Grace liked making "snakes".

Madelyn is seriously trying to talk! She still isn't really interested in walking, but she loves to imitate speech and repeat words from books. It really is incredible.

And of course, this week was also the presidential election. I'm going to leave this part rather vague and just say that I have/had a lot of anxiety about it. Politics are so messed up! I feel like there is so much fraud and disseat, and it makes it really difficult to feel confident in our country right now.
