Happy Turkey day

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Turkey day. We were very Thankful to be part of the festivities at Cyndi's house. She cooked a wonderful turkey and was a great hostess as usual. The kids had a great time, although I think Elijah felt left out not being able to gobble up anything.

I spent the last 2 weeks working in the ICU as part of my orientation. From that experience I can for sure say that I am thankful for my health and the health of all of those that are around me. Working in the acute care setting you definately realize how quickly life can change and not to take life for granted.

I am thankful for a wonderful husband who is also a wonderful father who has been working hard at multi tasking while I am at work.

The weather is turning and time continues to fly by. the kids are growing up quicker than we had ever imagined. Next week Hannah will turn 6. Where has the time gone??? Elijah turned 12 weeks old this past Tuesday.

On Veterans day we went to Nana and Papa's house. Hannah and I decided to head out to the castle playground and then to the bridge at Lover's Leap State park. It was my attempt to take some pictures before it gets too cold to go outside.













I think they did a wonderful job restoring this bridge. Hannah had a great time throwing leaves off into the river.


































And of course I had to put one in of Elijah!

Here is a great video to show how animated Elijah has become!

These pictures are long overdue. These are from cousin Patti's wedding. We had a wonderful time. Oma came up from NY and stayed at Cyndi's house. The kids were able to spend quality one on one time her.

The ceremony was beautiful, everyone looked great in their dresses especially the bride. The reception was filled with lots of music and great food!


We have had a busy past couple of weeks. I am now back to work. Although I have been doing 4 hour shifts for 3 weeks now, This week was the first of 7 hour days. Tomm starts 8 hour days. David has been doing awesome getting up in the morning and everything seems to be working out well.

We had a nice Halloween. As always the weather stayed nice and mild. David took off for the night and the house was decorated nicely. We didn't have as many trick or treaters as we did last year.

Hannah of course had a wonderful time out and about, but I think she liked handing out candy even more.

Elijah has become so animated lately. He is starting to coo and talk and is a smiling fool. He is still sleeping through the night which is great. Hannah is still in love with him!

We definately got out wear out of Hannah's costume. We were able to go to her Karate Halloween Party, the Kids Halloween party at the hospital and then for actual halloween night.
