This past month flew by, literally!
>Seth recieved his Webelos activity badges! Yea!
>Grandma Anderson came for a stay! We had lots of fun with her here. We made/bought gifts for other people, we played games, got some projects done, and simply played around. It was a good visit.
>Maggie had her first birthday! I can't believe it has been a whole year since she was born! She has grown a ton too! She is 17.5 lbs. (3.12lbs when she was born) and the nurse measured wrong on her height. Acording to her, she srank like 3 inches since her last well check visit. Crazy! We mesured her, but I forgot what it is. I will have to look. Babies are so amazing the things they learn and how they grow just in that 1st year of life!
Maggie loved her cake! She dived right into it and started to shovel it into her mouth by the fist fulls. It was comical!
>Seth, Derek, Grandpa Anderson, and I (Nat) ran the thanksgiving day race! It was a lot of fun! Seth pushed me big time. Only like 5 min into the race Seth says to me, mom, your too slow, can I meet you at the finish line? So, I ran all but like 50-100 yards of the race so that he didn't have to wait to long for me. He ran practically the whole way also! Seth got 8th place for his age group! Derek and Grandpa walked the whole way. Derek said he didn't even break a sweat!
>Thanksgiving was fun also. We ate great food and had fun being with eachother.
>The day after Thanksgiving, we went to Science City! That is a way fun place to be. The kids had a fun time. We liked the optical alluions a lot.
>We noticed a few spots on Maggie the days previous, but didn't really look too close, that night though, we noticed that the spots seemed to be spreading more. She had had a chicken pox shot the Monday before, and that is about the time the spots started to show up. Well, we figured out after talking with the doc and some friends that had the same thing happen to them, that yes, she had broken out with a mild case of the chicken pox! We felt bad then for taking her all those places, but she doesn't walk or really interact with anyone besides us, so I think it was fine.
She ended up with more than 40 spots all over her body. They have since crusted over, so I think they are done now. Hopefully!
That is our November!
