November Things

I can hardly believe it's December today.

I'm sure you noticed that I have been absent from blog land.

With the tragic death of my brother in law that we are all still very much in grief over, we also unexpectantly lost an aunt, as well as my Grandma in the last 3 months.  

This only added to the depth of grief we are already living in.

It's been just over 3 months since the death of Darren, but it's unbelievably fresh still.  

Unreal.

This will take a very long time to not feel such pain and anguish over the loss.

Life continues and so we must keep going.  There is never a time where Darren's death is not on my mind.  It is always there, always.  Maybe not right in the fore front, but in the shadows, lurking, waiting to pounce and therefore I am always aware of it's presence.

November flew by.  And we had snow, it was as is most common in the wet west coast, gone quickly. 

It hung around just long enough for the kids to have some fun.

You can see by these pictures that it really was almost gone, 

but the kids still had fun for the short time outside.  

My man, just loves to make faces right now for the camera

And girly, she just looks cute or silly, I'm not too sure

 I have some more pictures loaded and I hope to share with you our Christmas countdown.  The kids are super excited about it.  So I will be working on some upcoming posts...stay tuned
