First ultrasound, playtime and The First Thanksgiving... in Blanding

11/3 - Congratulations, its a baby! (Due: May 29th, 2018)


Finn getting a haircut.  They keep quiet during his haircuts, because they get to watch a show on the iPad.  I do the same thing when Melissa cuts my hair. I think this was the first time he got clippers.


Building fine motor skills, and a tower. 


Just a cute kid we found in our photo album.


11/10 - Halfway through November, shades and jackets mean you can ride ALL DAY.  Or at least for 30 minutes or so.


Alphabet lessons in the tub. 


11/16 - Finn fell at Lynette's house and his eye landed on a bush. 


Hannah is learning to climb the drawbridge on her backyard fort.


11/22 - Sometimes when it is "too quiet," that can be a good thing.  Just sitting together reading books, in Minion hats. 


11/23 - Her very own plate of Thanksgiving pie.  This year I was on call for the hospital, so we stayed in Blanding and celebrated Thanksgiving with the Stevens'.  It was awful to miss the holiday with family, but it was nice to not travel and to have such good friends in town.  We made sweet potatoes (Trisha's recipe) and a Triple Berry Cream Cheese Pie and a Pecan Pie, my mom's recipes
.  We learned that our kids love sweet potatoes, we ended up with a 7x11 dish left and the twins had sweet potatoes 1-2 times daily for the next 2 weeks.
It was a great day with some important friends. 


Hannah showing gratitude for the invitation by sharing the chair with Lynette.


Finn was watching "the game" until mom put the camera in his face.

Tickling the ivories. 


11/24 - Thanksgiving is over, time to attack the Christmas tree!
