Good-bye November; here comes December! Ric, Derek, and I went to Zoo Lights last night at Pt. Defiance Zoo. It wasn't the best of times, but we did see a lot of lights! Perhaps Derek will be in better spirits next year!!!

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for all of our incrediblel family members and friends!

Derek has been coming up with ideas for what he wants to do when he gets bigger. One, he desires to create a "safe" motorcycle that Papa can ride, and he will attach something to the back so Derek and I can ride with him. The other item of interest is to create a machine that sucks all of the chemicals out of the air. Perhaps we have an inventor on our hands!

It has been mighty cold and rainy, but we still venture out and have lots of fun!

We have been having such great experiences with Derek this fall. There is always something fun to do in the Great Northwest!

Oh, Derek!

Another fabulous day in Tacoma! This was the first time Derek had been on the 11th Street Bridge! It was a harry climb to reach it, but Derek did a fabulous job!
