Food, Family, Finals, and Fun! (not in that order...)

November was a whirl wind of a month! It was the end of a LONG quarter for Phil and his first experience with finals in medical school. Whew! It was a doozy! Phil was basically MIA since he was studying 24/7, but we had a lot of family time too.
Before the finals began we took a family trip to the park. We had not left the house much with Aftyn still being so young and all of us were getting a little cabin fever. It was much needed and well deserved.







And, if you can believe it, we were able to play at the splash pad at a new park that opened up by my brother and sister-in-laws house. Only in Arizona can you play at a splash pad in November. Bennett loved it and he loves playing with his cousins.



While Phil studied, grandpa would come and have play dates with Bennett while I would catch up on the essentials with Aftyn since she still was not sleeping through the night. Thank goodness for play dates!


Once finals were over for Phil, we were all able to breathe and just in time for Thanksgiving! It was really great to get to spend time with family that we don't get to see as often. I had family come down from Utah for the holiday and we spent a day at the Wildlife World Zoo. It was fun and of course Bennett loved the animals.

We had a blast this past November. It was one of the last times we got to spend time all together before both my sisters left for out of state. :( Good fun family times.
