Thanksgiving-with a lot of imagination needed.

Thanksgiving was so fun that we forgot to take any pictures. My brother and his wife came in for the holiday and we had a lovely time.  We had Thanksgiving in Alexandria with my dad and then went on to spend time with my mom. 

Picking up Oliver and Dantzel at the airport. 

Snacking...

Jack fast asleep after the fun day 

Oliver and Jack playing Legos. 

And that is all the pictures I took for thanksgiving. Did you like how I left out most of the people and festivity?

A short phone update

The packages for Christmas have started arriving...we mostly do online shopping as we don't have many stores nearby. 

Lucy figured out how to clim the ladder on the bunk bed, I grabbed a quick picture and then removed Lucy and the ladder. The ladder is now hidden during the day. 

My poor Lucy had a virus with a high fever that lasted a few days. She's better now but took a long nap in my bed one afternoon. 

Cuddling in bed.

We happened onto Santa and Mrs. Claus at dunkin donuts. 

Lucy didn't cry, but she didn't smile. She wasn't about to let her brother out-sit her on Santa's lap. 

Thanks for the donut, Santa...

We just put up our tree and Jack begged to put on the star. 

Thank you, Jack. The tree looks lovely.  

I still have some pictures that need to be posted, but I just found an app to blog from my phone which will be perfect for my phone updates!!

Quick update

I'm still behind on pictures, so this post won't have pictures but a quick thought. My kids are sweet and say cute kid things that need to be documented.
Yesterday Lucy sneezed on Jack's book and he started yelling "Lucy bless you'd on my book!!!"

Lucy's first official word was "shoes."  This girl loves shoes. She wants them on first thing in the morning and changes through hew few pairs throughout the day. She loves everyone else's shoes too. Her first official sentence was "I need milk." She is an excellent communicator, mostly with emphatic nods or a clear yes or no, she can tell you what she wants.
