Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving was a pretty quiet event this year. We invited Chris and Dante over for dinner, Mom stopped by to help with the babies, and I got to set the table with all my beautiful things!

We have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes it just blows me away how much I have in my life. We have three wonderful, healthy, beautiful children. My husband is the best man I have ever met. Our parents are healthy and love us and these babies more than anything. Our siblings are big parts of our lives. We have great friends. My home is warm. I have a home. There are just so many blessings....

Some say that your life changes when you hit 30. That your 20's are the best. I disagree. This has been the best chapter in my life so far. I just don't see how it could be any better than it is right now.....

Leo's First Birthday!

A couple of house down from us, a family from Hawaii moved in. And.....they have a little boy who turned one today! I am so excited to have a playmate for the babies and a little boy evens things out!!! They are a super family and I can't wait to see what the next few years bring between the children. Happy First Birthday Leo!!!

All loaded up for the party!

Onto presents and play!
Wylie with Ava Lang

It was funny, Katie and Leo stayed away from everyone and just had their own little party!



Wylie....that isn't yours!

Wylie's First Word: Bah

After waiting to see if it was a fluke....I think that we have a first word!!!! Bah!!!! Translation: Ball.

Wylie really is able to recognize and say "ball" every time I show him one. This is getting way too much fun :)

Maggie This Morning...

How sweet is Maggie loving on her Daddy!

UGH!

No words necessary....

BathTime!

I finally got up enough courage to begin bathing the babies in the real bathtub. Just recently, when we would try to cram the babies into the kitchen sink, they would become miserable...I guess I need to listen to their ques a little better! They simply have gotten too big! Now, they LOVE bathtime again! I can bathe two at a time and they just play and play until the water gets cold. It definitely keeps them busy for awhile.

Our First Time at the Park!

I am already getting nervous about being cooped up in the house all winter long! I just can't imgagine how to do this without a little time outside! So, I figured I better get it all in while I can!

I had an afternoon by myself so I packed up the babies, ran some errands and then headed to a park over on Jekyll. While it wasn't the one on one park time I imagined when trying to get pregnant, it was pretty cute! The girls LOVED the swings while Wylie wasn't too sure. Maggie, of course, tried to eat all the wood chips. Katie hung out in the shade and Big Boy was everywhere!
