Here's a few pictures of every day life in the O'Connor house:

Lily has become quite the little artist lately. She drew this picture of a person the other day and you can actually tell what it is!

We went to Madelyn's class Halloween party. She was so excited to have us there. She showed us everything and introduced us to everyone. Lily loved the attention.

Lily and I went on a little hike together. She only tripped and fell on her face once. Not a bad hike for us!

During Thanksgiving break Madelyn wanted to go on a girl hike so we headed out to Konza. I love this sister picture.

We made it to the top of the big hill! Then Lily tripped and bonked her knee and made me carry her aaallll the way back to the car. I was one tired momma.

Dad and Lily washing dishes.

We had a picnic at the park yesterday because the weather was so nice. Madelyn conquered the climbing wall.

Lily showing off her muscles. She hung like that for a long time!

Tree Hunt 2017

We participated in Manhattan's Red Cedar Holiday Harvest again this year. I love it. They provide donuts, cocoa and a free tree! This year there was also a little train to shuttle people back and forth from their cars.

Chowing on donuts and headed out to look for our tree.

Happy girls!

Rory's maybe not so happy to have to stick his head into a prickly cedar.

He braved it and got us a good one.

The train conductor was very nice and gave us a ride around the parking lot even though we parked right next to the entrance.

The girls had fun getting out all the ornaments and putting them on the tree.

The final product! Sadly half of one of our light strands has given up the ghost. Maybe someday we'll fix it.
