November

November at the Muldowney household was a fun, spiritual and thankful month.

I'll start with the one thing of November that I still think about almost daily.

November 1st we were blessed with the birth of our niece Lillian Kathleen Muldowney. Lillian was born with some birth defects and started a battle for her life right away. She lived 1 month and 1 week and then returned to our Heavenly Father. Jeremiah and I fasted almost weekly for this little one and her dear parents. We prayed for their family in everyone of our prayers. It brought spiritual growth to our family. I could often feel the strength of her spirit as I prayed for her. I had the blessing of growing closer to my own sister, Carrie, as I spoke to her often of the loss of her little boy almost 5 years ago. We often had talks with our children of the blessing of eternal families. We are so very thankful that Erin and Micah were sealed in the temple and have the sweet blessing of Lillian sealed to them for eternity. I am thankful that through the sealing power that some day I will get to meet my sweet little niece, Lillian and my nephew Ryan. Thank you Lillian, who has brought so much strength to the whole Muldowney family.

November was also the first month that Jeremiah was done with Clinicals. So how did he celebrate? He went and got a second job. Ha, poor guy. I will repeat the words of my sister, Carrie.. What a good man Jeremiah is. He will do anything it takes to take care of his family....

I love Jeremiah so much!

So here is some of the fun we had this month

We had the blessing of having Lizzie come up for Thanksgiving this year. She is always a joy to have around.

Rose got attacked by a bear.

Isabelle gave us some distressing news.

We had some fun in the snow. Not us much as we would have liked. But there it is.

Lizzie reading and warming herself by the fire place.

What better place.

And then came Thanksgiving

We held our very first Thanksgiving in our very first home.

Ann made a turkey out of rolls.
How fun and tasty!
Always fun with the cousins
I made my first Turkey

Here it is coming out of the oven.

Just Joking this is after the feast.

The turkey was a hit.

The Feasters.

We are so grateful to have Ryan and his family so close by.

They live 2 hours away and we feel blessed every time we get to see them.

Jeremiah burned a hole into our hard wood floor.

It's a long story but lets just say we are thankful we still have a house.

Last but not least
Do you see this OLD Man

He is now 32 years old
