November

Anytime he sees a yellow "sunflower", he stops to pick it for me.  I love that. 

I am SO grateful that my parents live close-by and are so involved in our lives.  They spend time with the kids at least 1x/week, sometimes more.  One morning, they took Sydney and Cole to the Safari Park.  I love this picture of Cole feeding the lorikeets. 

Sydney the photographer - me holding baby Charlotte

The weather was unseasonably warm for November but we weren't complaining.  Days and nights spent at the beach was wonderful!

Cole - 3 1/2 years

Sydney - 5 years

Made a birthday cake from seaweed - I love her creativity!

Uncle Mark passed his sailing test and took us out on a big sailboat!  

WHOA!  This is hard work.

I think they enjoyed the bottom cabin of the boat even more than the top :)
