We are adjusting.

Richard has been home since the day before Thanksgiving, so it's been a strange adjustment this week. Wyatt woke up this morning and immediately asked where Daddy was.  Poor little guy, he really liked having him here more!


Jack has been up to some very strange business....

Wyatt was so excited when he found him in his own room. He stood up on his bed, and he almost touched him today, but then remembered that he would loose his magic if he did! The look on Wyatt's face when we spot him somewhere new, is priceless!  I can't wait till Josie is old enough to join in on the fun!

Jack ~ Night four!

Jack ~ Nights two and three

 Night two

Night three

Jack is here!

We knew Jack was coming, and have known for a while. I've been reminding Wyatt that Santa was picking out a very special elf friend for him. He didn't know when or how he would arrive though.

It was a little after dinner on a clear Thanksgiving night. I went out on the porch to feed the cats, and there was a package there for Wyatt and Josie!

We unwrapped our new elf, and read the story! Wyatt instantly named him Jack.

This is awesome! A tradition I wish was around when I was a kid! I've been taking some pictures of the shenanagins that Jack is getting into, and hopefully I can find a few minutes through the week to share with you what he's been up to!

Have a wonderful Holiday Season! I know we will!!!

Jack ~ Night one

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope you remember to be thankful for everything you have, and that your day is filled with love!

I recently painted our kitchen table with chalkboard paint. Needless to say, it was a huge hit!! We all wrote on it, what we are thankful for.


Here's Wyatt's contribution to the table of thanks.....

Josie is ONE!

It's so hard to believe that my baby is one. It seems like just yesterday we welcomed her into the world. She is growing faster than I remember with Wyatt. Maybe it's because we think she's our last? I don't know, but either way...I wish I could stop time and enjoy this just a little bit longer.

Here are some pictures from her party. She was very overwhelmed, but she really did seem to enjoy it!

Happy, Happy Birthday my Josie!!!

Ok, wow....how did I let this whole blog get away from me?

Where to begin {sigh}....it's been a very busy 3 months. Wyatt's third birthday was Sept. 4, then Josie's was Nov. 16th, and now Thanksgiving is coming....I feel like I've been pulled in ten different directions at once. I know Christmas is right around the corner, but I hope for at least a week or so, things will be a little  bit calmer.

I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year. We are going to combine my family and Richard's family, and have one big family Dinner. I think it's going to be great!!! I sure know Wyatt will love it.

Santa will be delivering Wyatt and Josie's Elf, after dinner Thursday. I can't wait! I am going to try writing every day of the holiday season, or that's my goal anyway!

Until then, I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. Count your blessings, and thank God for them all.
