Thanksgiving

This was the week of Thanksgiving. The kids and I made hand turkeys and gave them to the grandparents. Louie put his foot print instead of his hand print. They were cute and the kids really enjoyed doing them, and giving them to all the grandparents. We went to Grandma Rita’s for breakfast, which the kids ate something crazy like 45 pancakes. Everyone was looking at Ava because she was on her third pancake of the morning, eating all by herself in the corner smiling. We were all laughing watching her. The kids loved playing with their cousins at my grandmas they were racing each other in the back yard. Later, we went over Auntie Crystals and the kids were super excited to see their other cousins. I remember always being excited to play with my cousins when I was little. They were great kids, and had lots of fun.
Anthony – Anthony is really maturing and I could barely keep up with all of his questions. His questions are starting to be harder to answer, as they are becoming more and more detailed. We put up the tree the day after Thanksgiving. Anthony was so excited to do it this year. Of course we got a call saying that we had a showing in two hours, to look at the house. The house was tore apart because we pulled out all the Christmas decorations. I panicked and looked at Anthony thinking we have to decorate this tree super quick. He looked up at me and said, “Mom aren’t you super excited to decorate the Christmas tree?” I told him I sure am son, and said I’m not rushing this moment for anyone. We decorated the tree, and ate pumpkin bread, to see the joy in Anthony’s eyes was priceless. I asked him if he wanted to sit down and eat his pumpkin bread, he told me, “No mom I have to eat quick because I’m working super hard decorating the tree.” I chuckled because he was so serious. I adore him so much.
Avabelle – I wanted to go the store by myself because it’s so much quicker. Well….Ava decided she wanted to go. I can’t resist that little girl to save my life, there I was waiting for her to put on her shoes. Tony said I thought you were going by yourself, I told him I know, but your daughter always falls through the cracks because she is so charming. I was happy to take her because she is always in such a happy mood to go. Her favorite thing lately is after she washes her hands she tells me, “Mom, can I touch Louie’s hands?” I tell her yes and she goes and finds him and touches his hands. It’s really cute! She loved playing with her cousins at my grandmas even though she’s the only girl.
Louie – Louie’s nose has been quite congested for three weeks now. He get’s blood in his mucous because it’s so dry. The doctors said it’s not a big deal and he’ll get over it. Aquafore seems to be helping. I wish he would get over this, because I know he would sleep though the night if he could breathe better. We finally put two humidifiers in the room. He loved being out and about for Thanksgiving, the grandparents all adore him, and he adores all of them. His four month check up went well. He is in the 75th percentile for his weight, 90th for his height and 50th for his head. So far he’s a healthy growing boy, which makes mom very joyful.
Tony and I – We found out that next week we go to the design center for the new house. Aunt Jenn is coming with us because she has great taste, and we both feel very comfortable with her. I am super excited! I took grandpa Rudy to see the new house and he loved it. He was very impressed. Something about his approval means a lot to me, him and Tony’s mom, because they really care about the best interest of our family. Even though they will miss us living closer, they are very happy for the opportunities we will be providing for the kids.
