November 26, 2007

The cold weather has returned for a while and Grace couldn't be more excited about it. She enjoys wearing her sweaters, hats, mittens, and her new "pink silky coat". Even though she refuses to take off her outside clothes while she is inside she refuses to wear anything on her feet indoors and often wants to go outside barefoot in sandals.
Anne is sitting up on her own for longer periods of time, and she is rolling all over the house. We can't keep track of her sometimes! Ah, the freedom to move!
One way to change up the day when we are inside so much is to build a cubby!
Daddy, Grace and Anne all like to play in the cubby!
Baby Anne started eating solid foods this week. Just in time for mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving! Yum! Yum!

We enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving together. Everyone got a bit of their favorites.
Edwin: Stuffing and Pumpkin Pie.
Mom: Homemade Cranberry Sauce
I made cranberry sauce for the first time and it was DELICIOUS! No one else liked the texture so I was able to eat it ALL BY MYSELF and I enjoyed EVERY bit!
Grace: Turkey. Turkey. Turkey.
Grace liked seeing the big turkey cook in the oven and enjoyed basting it. She out ate everyone on the turkey! Go Grace!
Anne: More Mashed Potatoes PLEASE!

All in all it's been a great week and we are grateful to have daddy home for a little while longer.

It's nice to know that even though you are far away and very married, some things just don't change. Enormous amounts of notebooks. After 4 years, I'm still running across notebooks you have started. I'd give you a really hard time about it, but yesterday, I started a new notebook; only to open it up an see that I had put a personal journal entry in during April 2005 and work entry in during September 2006! Oh well, at least I have 2007's entry in too!..Love mom
