Thanksgiving

This year we spend Thanksgiving in Del Norte with Merek's Great-Grandparents. Aunt Brenda, Uncle Randy, Kellen, and Scott were there too. The food was great and the company was even better!
The picture is old, but I like it. It's Merek with his Great-Grandpa.

Halloween

We spent Halloween in Parachute with Aunt Brenda. Merek when trick-or-treating with his (second) cousins Kellen, Quiana, and McKenna. They all got tons of candy!

Without Merek

I went for a week of training in November for my new job. That meant that I had to leave Merek for 5 days. Being dropped off at the airport was the hardest, I didn't know if I was going to make it through 5 days without him.

Luckily, once I was in California I stayed busy enough to not dwell on being away from him. In the end it was a nice little break for both of us.

He got to stay at grandma's house. Aunt Allison and Great-Grandma also helped out with him. He even got to go visit grandpa.

It was so beautiful in California I wanted to move there. But every time we started driving the traffic reminded me of why I could never live there.
