This Thanksgiving was bittersweet for me. Sweet because it was G~’s first Thanksgiving home. Last year I was still waiting to hear when I would get a giving and receiving date. This year he was there – sitting in his high chair eating turkey. He didn’t eat much…he’s more of a grazer lately…just eats all [...]

We are all recovered from the flu. Not fully – there is still lots of coughing from the kids, but things have returned to normal. S~ felt safe enough to come up again too.
I have some exciting news….my brother and his wife are expecting their first baby!!! I’m going to finally be an [...]

The weekend in pictures (mostly):
We went to a parade on Saturday afternoon. It was like a redneck festival, but funner. We went to this tiny town for it. We saw a woman walking down the street with a home-monitoring anklet on….a guy with a snake around his neck that he would sometimes put in his [...]
Another Dr. Visit

I brought G~ back to the doctor yesterday. This time I saw our regular doc, thank goodness. He did a chest x-ray and G~ has pneumonia. I just knew it. G~ was so brave. They put a tiny little lead skirt thing on him and an apron on me and I was able to help him stand [...]

…when my refrigerator smells like eggs!
Let Operation Easter Egg Coloring begin:
Lil G liked the Sponge*Bob stickers. He’s a big fan of the little yellow guy.

This is my daughter decorating Christmas cookies. I cheated a little and bought the roll of sugar cookies instead of making any from scratch this year. I just didn’t have time getting everything else done. She had fun and they were really yummy.
We went to my mom’s house on Christmas Eve. It was great [...]
