Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in the Woolley with the Hunter family and ate delicious food, enjoyed good company & the kids played HARD. I wish we could also say that we cheered the Cougs onto a victory during the Apple Cup, but that unfortunately was not the case....

First Thanksgiving

and first Apple Cup

Cousins!

Day 28-30

Day 28: I'm thankful for our families. Thankful that they are always there for us, thankful for the love they show our kids, thankful that almost everyone is a car ride/road trip away.

Day 29: Thankful for cousins and the love and joy all the cousins share. Regardless of age differences, distance and time apart there is nothing quite like the bond between our kids & their cousins.

Day 30: My final November day of thanks goes to my family. These 4 are my everything... my 3 little blessings & my best friend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The two kindergarten classes had a Thanksgiving feast last night at the school and it was good fun. The kids even made the beef stew themselves at school that day.  Have I said recently how much I love St. Joe's?!

Cal & his best bud Ulrich

Then today, the school hosted a Thanksgiving Grandparent's Day program. Cal was thrilled to have Gram come to watch him perform and show off his classroom. And even more thrilled about the books she treated the boys to at the school book fair.

 

Day 27: I am so thankful for all the kids' grandparents. And thankful for my parents supporting the boys in everything they do. They take off work, change plans, etc. to come to everything (sports, programs, you name it and they are there).

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

A whole lotta pics.

Day 24-26

Day 24: Thankful for a job, at my sis' coffee stand, which I work at once a week and really love doing.
Day 25: Thankful for the rare moments when I have a quiet house. Whether the little ones are napping at the same time while Cal's at school or everyone is in bed for the night, I love my kids dearly but I also appreciate a little mommy down time more than ever before.
Day 26: Thankful for a new day and starting fresh tomorrow. I'm wiped after today. I was puked on too many times to count, pooped on, lost my car keys at the school, crossed the bridge eight times, and had about 2 total hours at home all day before we all got home for the night around 7:30.

Days 19-23

Day 19: I'm thankful for our furry babies. Although Clyde's a bit neurotic and has been driving me nuts recently, I sure do love these two. And I feel fortunate we have two dogs that have always been so good to our kids.

Day 20: Thankful for a long-term memory of steal. Although my short-term memory is garbage, I love how clearly I remember various life events and I love reflecting back on them.
Day 21: I'm thankful for the boys' gratitude. It's such a good feeling when you're kids appreciate you and the things you do for them.
Day 22: I'm thankful for our Alma Mater, WSU. I LOVE being a Coug.

Day 23: Today I'm grateful for my first mom & daughter day with Emmie while the boys went to Pullman for the game. I can't wait for many more to come... 

2 month check-up

Emmie had her 2 month checkup today and little miss is as healthy as a horse and perfectly portioned in size. Unfortunately, this was the first round of vaccines (and boy, there were a lot of them) but she took the shots like a champ and so far she seems to be handling the cocktail of medicine well.

2 month stats
Height: 23.25" (77%)
Weight: 12 lb. 12 oz (76%)

happily waiting for her check-up
