November

We were without a camera for most of November.  We continued to unpack, organize, and Cory worked a lot.  We had another fun filled Thanksgiving with friends, no pictures of course.  The week after Thanksgiving my parents visited for a few days after driving my brother up here for interviews for residency.  (We're crossing our fingers for OHSU!)  

Yes, Emory is rock climbing across Cory's dream skin.  Zits, blisters, and scabs galore!

These are some pictures at OMSI from my mom's phone.  The girls reveled in some Grandma, Grandpa and  Uncle Josh time, and Fischer eventually warmed up to them too.  

We finally got the new camera and are slowing learning how to use it.  Cory wanted a DSLR (whatever that even means) but I felt a little hypocritical getting one because I've always made fun of the "Camera Moms" with their ginormous camera on their hips, trying to take profession looking photos.  So he got one anyway, but at least it's small ;)

We worked on a fun Christmas project for our cousins.  

Since we don't see them very often, maybe once a year, so we made them a Cousin ABC's Book to help them know their "long, lost Oregonian Cousins," as Emory would say!
