A Thanksgiving Tale

Once upon a time a cute little pilgrim arrived in the new world.

There she met an Indian named Dash.

The Indian showed her how to hunt wild animals and grow food.

She was grateful for all of his help, and baked him a turkey.

The turkey was not pleased to be baked. The end.
Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16

Gabbi's discovered

how to wave.

Bernard's discovered

how to climb trees.

Someone's been thumb sucking.

But she's also learned to put herself to sleep.

And it's just so cute.

Never thought I would have a baby that could put herself to sleep and sleep through the night this young. We are beyond grateful for it, it makes life with an infant so much simpler. The other kiddo's are doing well, we are starting to think about Christmas and getting preparations started for that. I get overwhelmed easily lately, but am learning to talk myself down from it. I want to find a way to get things done but still have time to play and relax. I just need to hire a grocery service and someone to clean my floors. I would need to pay them with cookies. Anyone?

Happy Girl

Brian and I get to enjoy the little lady all by herself this weekend, the older monkey's are at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We watched a movie last night, and went for lunch at one of the wineries today, Gabbi is a big fan of Missouri wines. Just kidding, she actually prefers French wines. So grateful for our families for giving us breaks!

Happy Halloween

With love from,

Batman

Cinderella

and a very sweet banana.

Pumpkins by Brian and Bern, and only one scratch in the kitchen table.

Sad and Silly

Sad news first, the older germy kids infected the precious little baby with a cold. Gabbi is snorting around like a little piggy. Here she is trying to get away from it all.

On the silly front, Richard Simmons came to our house and dressed Bella last night, note the gloves that are being worn as leg warmers.

Bella changes clothes at least four times a day. She has changed her mind on her Halloween costume 6 times. Finally I had to decide for her. She also remembers special events by what she was wearing and or eating. We'll say "remember when you went to see Dora Live?", and she say "yes and I wore my bootiful polka dot dress and white easter shoes and had popcorn for a snack." She can remember what she was wearing and eating as far back as 2 years ago. I believe Brian's credit cards will be in serious trouble soon.
