The next weekend we headed down to Houston to say farewell to my brother, Scott, before he left on his mission. Since he would be missing Thanksgiving we had an early Thanksgiving dinner which was amazing, as usual.

We Sean made pecan pie with pecans from our trees. Delish!

I love these next 3 photos. They basically sums up my sister, Rachel, and I quite well.

Scott was very sad to be leaving Evette. Scott was the first one to make Evette laugh. Now she just looks at him and starts laughing. They have a special little bond. She'll be so big when he gets back!

Scott put Evette to bed the night before he left. It was so tender. He came out crying and then I just lost it. Oh boy, Imma miss that kid so much. He'll be a great missionary. Sean and I didn't wake up ridiculously early in the morning to see him off so we said goodbye to him that night as well. Oh man that was tough. I love my baby brother.

We spent the next week with my fam just chillaxing. It was great.

Evette loved the Disney Store during our trip to the mall

Also, Evette was pretty sick so I decided to take her to the doctors so we could get her some meds before we left the country. Turns out that besides 4 molars coming in she had an ear infection in both ears as well as bronchitis. Holy cow! Despite all those sad things she was still her happy chipper self - what a trooper. We got that girl some drugs and she started feeling better in no time. 

My sister Rachel and I also decided to start up our own little talk show called "Lech with Rach" - you can watch it here and here. It's pretty fabulous.

I love living so close to family - I cannot say that enough.
