Thanksgiving!

This year we went to my parents house for Thanksgiving. I heart Thanksgiving. I was bummed because with these twins, my stomach just doesn't allow me the room I'd like for the feast! Probably a blessing in disguise. We ate - cleaned up - played games (Mad Gab & SmartAss) & ate pie. Angela made a fabulous Pumpkin Cheesecake. I want more of it! It was delish. Casey was SURE that it came from a Marie Callendars box because it was very 'fancy'.

I'm posting the following picture for my family's memory only. You can contact me if you'd like the story...but I better not blog it. Tee hee. We'll just say that Caleb is confused about colored people & that Dylan is a B.

We made a Thankful Tree this year & wrote on it (when we remembered to).

Caleb - monkey - Dad - Mom - Buzz Light Year - bye bye in the car - guns

Brittni - beautiful sunsets - the ocean - when Caleb WANTS to cuddle in the mornings - a warm home - Casey - family - electricity - running water

Casey - sleeping in (he put this twice - so he must REALLY like it) - hunting - a patient wife - Caleb hugs & kisses - that he's not in a wheelchair - crisp, cool mornings

My Little Turkey

Caleb has been going to a pre-preschool for a couple of weeks. He has some 'transition' issues that they are working on with the darling :) He had on the cutest turkey hat the other day! I was surprised that he had it on because he usually hates stuff like it - but he had it on when I picked him up & wore it the whole way home! I think he's stinkin cute.

Isn't this why people have children? To do the dishes....match & fold the socks....clean the downstairs bathroom....and rake leaves?

I'm officially part of the the unemployed community. It's strange. I've had a job since I was 16 & haven't ever been without! November 14th was my last day working at the Rehabilitation center - & it was bitter sweet. It's been an adjustment staying home & the bigger adjustment will probably come as the income I was making is no longer existent.

Everyone there was so nice & threw me a baby shower/going away party! I think a lot of people love a reason to browse through the baby aisles. Stuff is so dang cute! I met a lot of great people while I worked at Alpine & was told that they door was open if I wanted to return. That's a great feeling to know that you did a good enough job that they would take you back!

Almost 3!

Caleb is almost 3! Casey & I attempted to get a few cute shots of him this year rather than taking him to a photo studio. I think we got a few cute ones. I still need a lot of practice with my camera & need some education on lighting. It's not good when a piece of equipment is smarter than me. It's frustrating!
