Sweet November

It was a wonderful month of R&R and family reunions. Earlier this month, Elijah took a trip to So Cal for a wedding where Dad sang a heartfelt melody for the bride and groom. Eli also got to visit his Great Grandma in Irvine and hang with his many female cousins. He also met his cousins on Dad’s side for the first time – Darin, Ethan, Kristin, Kyle and Leslie. Most importantly, Eli was reunited with his long-lost Uncles Jonah and Micah and his Auntie Min. We ended the month by celebrating Eli’s first Thanksgiving. We’ve been blessed abundantly over the years, but we were especially grateful this year for the wonderful addition of the young Paduin to our family. Cheers!
