November

 

November 6 was the rescheduled date of the Women's Only 5K, which raised money for breast cancer awareness and screenings.  Our team, Winterhoff's Warriors, had 38 people, and was the second largest in the entire race.  It was an emotional day for me, and I felt surrounded by love:

"You are so brave...We love you."

The race raised over $88,000 for women in our community, and I will remember this day forever.  It was a celebration of how far we've come this year, what we've endured, and the support we've felt through it all.

Now, onto something a bit fluffier...  some pictures of Miss Millie.  She really is the best thing that we didn't know we needed.  SO. MUCH. PERSONALITY  in this dog.  She's my sidekick, my snuggler, and my daily dose of fluff therapy:

Favorite sleeping position.

Teefies.

"Hi, Mom.  Whatcha reading?"

She LOVES pasta and sits here waiting for the noodles to cook.
 Every single time.

Just a Doodle watching basketball.

Another favorite sleeping position.

Donning her turkey scarf.

We attended a Wake Forest football game and a basketball game in November.  This crossover season of sports means lots of Demon Deacon attire/pride in our house!

November weather is still perfect for more porch s'mores.  We had a great time when JoJo and Emma visited and we loved spending time with these dear friends:

November brought another milestone with Luke's first high school Homecoming dance.  This was such a great group of kids who went out to dinner together before the dance and willingly posed for pictures (as all the parents oohed and ahhed over these newborn babies who grew up in the blink of an eye!):

Midnight Ice Cream date after the dance!

We did a breakout room over Thanksgiving break, and got out in time!  This Clue-themed Escape Room was really fun:

We wrapped up November with Thanksgiving in Williamsburg.  We have so much to be thankful for this year, and it was a wonderful weekend with family:
