November!!

It’s now January, and I’m almost caught up through November!  Pretty good for me, eh?

My new niece, Ivy Marie, was born on my dad’s birthday!!  By the time you are reading this, I will have finally met her!!  YAY!

We put up our Thanksgiving tree, a fun tradition the kids look forward to.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

The Museum of Native American History held a girl scout day.

Mark Brown, a photographer we met while living in Ruby Valley (his site: stillofthemoment.com), and his wife Kendall, came to visit.  One of Kim Smith’s current grad students is netting Saw-whet Owls, so the three of us went to experience Mitchell in action.  He netted one owl, luckily – cute little stinker!

We met another photographer documenting Mitchell’s work, Melyssa St. Michael, who’d written this article:

The next day, we took them to Hobbs SP to hike.
