The first weekend in November we took a trip to Arizona for my grandfather's 80th birthday celebration. Many of our friends thought we were crazy to take three kids on a plane, but it actually worked out really well and we are so happy that we made the trip! Ruby, James & Hallie got to meet a lot of family and I think everyone was very happy to see them. While we were there, we took a day to go to the Phoenix Zoo (which is amazing) and do breakfast with one of my friends from law school.
We made it back and promptly took Ruby to the doctor because she was sent home from school. I didn't think she was very sick -- I was thinking she was run down from a long weekend and couldn't get her ears to pop from the plane ride (In the waiting room, she told me that she "burped her ear" and it was all better). So, I was a little surprised when the doctor looked in her ear and found a "nasty infection" and then listened to her lungs and discovered she had pneumonia! She has been on antibiotics for about a week and seems much better.
Now we are preparing for Thanksgiving! Jason's mom and one of his co-worker's families will be joining us for dinner. So I am preparing a menu and hoping that it will all turn out well ...
Oh and we did a big Flickr update, so if you want to see all of our pictures from October, go to www.flickr.com/jasonhill1627 and click on the October 2010 set.

She loved checking out all of the cacti!

My cousin, Elizabeth, seems like she'd do really well with twins ...
