HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving Blessings:

On this day when we are reminded of our many blessings, I am amazed at how long my list could be if I shared the whole thing. I am most thankful for a husband who loves me (flaws and all!) and a beautiful and healthy daughter who is the light of our lives. I am so thankful for our good friends and church family who enrich our lives as well. Our day started off at 1:30 a.m. when Kate decided that the day had begun. She had a late afternoon nap yesterday and I think it threw her off. She finally went back to sleep around 3 a.m. and rested up for a day full of family and of course turkey! Kate joined me as I got ready this morning (see pictures attached). She loves to help me get ready in the mornings. Dr. Will and Dr. Stephen will be tickled to know that Kate is OBSESSED with brushing her teeth!! She is also pretty in love with my eyelash curler! Everytime she sees it she says, "Eyewass!" and gives it a try for herself. Her day was made today when her Papa D brought her her very own miniature picnic table that he made for her. Of course, she didn't want to sit at the table because every 21 month old knows that tables are made for crawling on! It was so cold this morning that she didn't get to stay outside too long to enjoy it. Well, I must run, because Kate is pulling on my sleeve to let me know that it is her turn at the computer!! Boy she has us wrapped around her finger! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Halloween Fun

Kate was the cutest black cat for Halloween. She had the cutest little ear headband that she absolutely refused to wear. I had to literally hold her down to get the nose and whiskers drawn on her face! I can only imagine what my life with her as a teenager will be like because that girl has a mind of her own these days, but she is a total doll! We went to two Halloween get-togethers this year. One with our friends the Youngs and the other at Ross and Lauren Hailey's. At both parties, there was a space jump which is Kate's favorite thing these days. She had so much fun sitting in the space jump while the other kids bounced her around. She made a new "big girl" friend in Mason Joyner who is going to be the best babysitter in town someday! Kate also went on a hayride around CrossCreek which she thought was fun until she ran out of steam. Scott and I had to jump off with her and walk back to the party!
