Too much of this...

For Jo, it's been a month (or 5) of this...

Our newest teen

Somehow November got away from me: 4 birthdays, a girl in constant rehearsal mode, too much work, a phone with a crummy camera, etc. But we did pause to celebrate our lovely gal

Showing our love with these heart-shaped, stuffed pasta

And these elegant and tasty homemade treats - if I may say so myself

and some time round the fireplace

Piles of laundry

The master of laundry was noting that one pile is very very high...

Tea, anyone?

Dear boy indulged me in some tea for my birthday!
