Christmas Cards

Jaxon stayed home from school today with a nasty cough, it became very evident to me by about 9:00 a.m. that he didn't feel bad at all. I decided that after I finished my Monday cleaning I would take Christmas card pictures. Not so much fun this year, Connor did not want to cooperate. We started outside and ended up finally getting one I could work with in the house.

Here are a few of our shots, tears included.

So much to be thankful for

Jason and I hosted Thanksgiving in our home this year. Although it took me every bit of Monday to clean potties and floors after the weekend, it was great. My Dad and Stepmom were here, as well as my brother and his family and my grandmother. We did have Jaci for a short visit and she even brought her precious baby. One of those things I know we are all thankful for this year. The bigger, more pregnant I get the more appealing that 4 mth old little guy is. You know he is here and healthy on a pretty good schedule, and here we wait for the one who has yet to get a name, he isn't ripe and ready yet but definately keeping me up with my middle of the night trips to the potty, not to mention the tossing and turning to try to get comfy. But really, I am thankful, we had a good trip to the Dr. last week and everything is going well with the pregnancy. I am thankful that my boys remained realtively healthy this year, no stomach bugs or terrible upper respiratory stuff, just a few sinus infections, allergy induced of course. We are praying for continued health for the year to come. We have a nice new home and sold our old home to the perfect little family. You know when you love something like your first home you have a certain thing in mind for it. As for Jason, although he has a lot on his plate, he does have a very good job in this time of economic instabilty. I could go on and on, as Jaxon did on his sweet little list of what he is thankful for. But I will wrap it up for now with some Thanksgiving pictures.
