Being Thankful!!! (song on)

The pictures in the slide show are of our Christmas tree and the naughty kitty in it.  Mark helped us put it up.  Some of the other pictures are of Thanksgiving and when Mark came to visit and of my family.

We have had a busy month again!!! A lot has happened since the middle of November.  We had Thanksgiving which we thought was going to be a bust but turned out to be wonderful.  My mom was out of town so we weren’t going to have a Thanksgiving on my side but we pulled it out at the last minute so have it on Sunday.  We had a wonderful time and it’s really not Thanksgiving until I have my Mom’s herb bread stuffing!!!  Love ya MOM!!! 

We had Grandpa Mark come to visit for 8 whole days.  We all totally love it when he is here!!!  He fits right in.  He is from Washington State and was excitied to get away from the cold but it followed him and we has some pretty cold weather.  Sorry Mark.  We had such a great time!!!  He took us and my best friend and he son who stayed the weekend to Mideaval Times in Dallas!!!!  Oh man the men with the long hair!!!!  Ours was the most good looking!!  He even threw me the flower but Andrew caught it and WASN’T letting me have it.  He had such a great time even thought he didn’t eat any of his food.  (What’s new)  Thanks for the wondeful week Mark.  Love ya!!!

I really enjoyed time with my family and Jaimie my neice was home from school so we got to hang out with her.  There is always a lot of stories and laughter and of course food when we all get together.  It was nice to see my cousins and all my neices and nephews for Thanksgiving!!!  Taylor even played the flute.  She also played with my brother in law at Moms.  She is a real pro!!!!  Love ya Taylor.

My OB visits have been going well.  As I write this we are almost 34 weeks.  Only 6 more to go!!!!!!  Wow that is so fast.  Seems like it has flown by.  I can’t wait to see this little guy in the arms of his mom and dad!!!  What a miracle.  Kids are just that no matter how they get to your arms.  We feel very blessed to have been a part of this journey with such great people.  

I didn’t gain any weight at my last visit, so it is still 10 lbs for the whole pregnancy.  My BP is great and I have little swelling in my feet.  The baby who is named Dayne Gregory (so regal)  is consitantly measuring 2 weeks ahead so at our visit this week he measured 35 weeks.  We shall see when he decided to get here. 

I have all my Christmas shopping done and wrapped.  Mom helped me wrap them.  We had fun!!  I will miss her when she is gone like to heaven so I very much treasure the little moments we have together.  Like when I snuck in at work to see her at her lunch break during her meeting and she was stroking my hand while we were talking.  I love you Momma!!! 

This weekend we are having Andrew’s 10th birthday party.  It will be a laser tag event.  He is soooooooo excited!!!  

I won’t post until after Christmas so every one Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Love Lisa
