What is it about November?

There just seems to be something about this month...I don't really know why I haven't written in over a week.  Many of the other blogs I follow also seem to be in a rut with very few updates, and looking back over my archives it seems as though November is the month where I just stop writing.  Maybe it's because November is both busy with upcoming holidays, and yet mundane.  Nothing really exciting happens until the end of the month and maybe that's it.

Last week was pretty much a perfect example of life right now.  I filled my gas tank Tuesday evening after dropping Robert at dive practice.  I didn't have it most of the day Wednesday because Andrew was getting the oil changed in his car so he drove the van to work.  When I got in that evening and noticed it had gone nearly 40 miles, I immediately wondered what he had been up to.  As we figured up all the taxiing we do to kids' activities though, it became evident he hadn't done anything but ferry kids around!  On Thursday evening as I was driving Robert to another dive practice...I pointed out that the van had gone 60 miles in 48 hours...without leaving town!  It was just Andrew's drive to work and transporting kids.  That is our life right now.

And I don't mean for it to sound like a complaint.  I am so grateful for all of the opportunities our kids have here...it's why we decided to move here!
