November and Thanksgiving...BUSY!



I will give you the cliff notes version about November...
Pete started his surgical rotation and is loving being able to do surgery 24/7 for 4 months!
The hours are much better and he is not on call anymore YEAH!
I was busy with school and finishing up the semester, which consisted of
3 research papers, 4 finals, and 32 hours of classroom observations.
Melanie enjoyed going to many playdates as I was trying to fulfill my observations! Thank you to all my SD friends who helped out and especially my mom!
Melanie has such a funny personality and is picking up big attitude words from Aunt Brooke like "WHATEVER!". Let's just say the "W" word is a forbidden word in the Merrill home!
Megan is loving first grade and her class put on a Thanksgiving Program which she volunteered to be an ear of corn. Maybe she was reverting to her Iowa roots! She looked so cute!
Megan and I shared a few lunches together at school as I was doing my observations and she loved having mom at the lunch table with her friends (interesting converstations)!
We went up to Pinetop for Turkey and enjoyed our long weekend up there visiting with family and going to the movies!
