Ben & Shae Cecka's family in Gilbert, AZ

The thing about journaling is you have to write about what happens, when it happens. If the task is put off for too long, more things to write about come along, and the things that you wanted to write about before have become too many and now you’re left with a headful of ideas to write down, but it doesn’t get done.

Too many special and new things have occurred this month to not share them with you all fabulous and fine people. So, in light of all this, here is a brief overview of things that have happened this month in cronological order.

• 1) Ji says, “Mom, what happened to your hair?”
• 2) Johnathan brings himself to his knees in efforts to crawl.
• 3) Is dad leaving town for the weekend on business a good enough excuse to lie around all day in our pajamas? We think so.
• 4) We receive a lovely visit from Cecka parents.
• 5) Johnathan gets all spiffied out in his baby-tuxedo for Thanksgiving dinner.
• 6) We are given a private concert by Frank de la Rosa.
• 7) Johnathan eagerly guzzles ice water from a glass at Matt and Kim’s house.
• Johnathan sits without support.
• 9) I juggle two unhappy babies before our visit from Carolyn and Glenda.

Thank you for reading and sorry this could not be longer and more narrative. I am cooking dinner and making silly faces at Johnathan as I dictate this message to Benjamin!

To all a good night.

Bon appetite.
