It’s been a nice weekend with Doug and the kids. We ate a turkey dinner on Thursday for lunch, and today basically finished all the leftovers. Connor is my little Norwegian, being the only child to eat his lefse and lingonberries. We sorted toys to make room for Christmas presents, brought some clothes to the city mission, and I got to spend today bumming around by myself in the Haymarket (the new bookstore is awesome!), Burlington Antiques, and Scout.
Val and I have been reading his first chapter book together, “Star Wars, the Clone Wars.” It’s fun to have him sit and read with me again, as he seemed to lose interest there for awhile. He likes to follow along with his finger. Ava and Connor still like to read the kiddie books, so it’s nice to have this new pasttime with Val.
Tomorrow, I’ll teach BodyFlow and try to get the Christmas stuff up. I wanted to send out Christmas Cards to get them out of the way, but I don’t feel like addressing all the envelopes this weekend. Maybe next? We’ll see. 
Here are some new pictures from the photo shoot in October.
