November, December... etc.

So there is definitely the general - I have 2 small children and thus no time to blog - excuse, but I've also been battling a nasty and frustrating illness for 5 weeks now. Since I last posted we have:

- had Thanksgiving with our friends (at Ella's friend Avery's house)
- prepared for Christmas by playing lots of music, decorating and doing lots of crafts
- survived another hunting season with Seth having tons of fun (and London, too!)
- had a little boy turn 2 months and then 3 months old

- had a little girl continue to run circles around us (mostly in good ways)

- had a wonderful, low-key Christmas with just our little 4 person family
- had the Tippin grandparents join us for a few days between Christmas and New Year's

- enjoyed ringing in the New Year with Kayli, Amanda and Joel doing our annual Wii Game Night

Hopefully I'll find ways to get more posts in here for you. Thank you to all our family and friends who have raised concerns about not hearing from us recently. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Bethany, Seth, Eleanor and Benjamin



P.S. You all will be receiving your Christmas cards at some point... so be on the look out. :)

Woohoo, you're alive! :^) It's hard to get any sort of real blogging done with two small kids and even more so when you're sick! It's nice to see some recent pics of those cute little Tippins. Feel better soon!
