Thanksgiving Weekend!

Is it too much to celebrate Thanksgiving for the entire weekend? The only thing that was missing from this perfect weekend was Mary and Adam.

On Thanksgiving I was at my parents. Of course I couldn't wait for Dad's mashed potatoes and all of the other good stuff :-) Dad - you out did yourself once again, even with only one good arm. It was a nice afternoon. I feel like Chris got a chance to visit with my family and get to know them a little better. Thanks to my family for making him feel welcome.

Friday I was able to celebrate Thanksgiving again with Chris and his family. There were 21 of us in all! Wow - Marilyn, I don't know how you do it??? It was a very fun day and great to meet more of Chris' family. They are all wonderful people. Gene and Marilyn are very gracious hosts.

Saturday we set aside the turkey for a rib feast back at the Walters. Jake made the sauce for the ribs - yum. Another fun night!

I feel blessed to have such a great family of my own and that Chris' family has opened their home and hearts up to me.

I can't wait for Christmas!!!!

My Favorite Little Friend, Carter.....

Carter Fabritious is about the cutest baby I've ever seen, not to mention very sweet. Carter is crawling all over, and I hear his most recent discovery is toilet paper. I'm assuming this means the toilet paper is now all unrolled onto the floor - ha! Carter's parents are Jen and Skip - long time friends who you can always go to for many great laughs and a relaxing time. It's great to see Jen and Skip loving parenthood and enjoying their time with Carter.

Baby Gilmore is Almost Here.........

My friend Melissa, at work, is almost ready for her first baby! Her temporary "shelf" should be going away in a few days if she has anything to say about it :-)

Melissa is so great to have in the office, and I will miss her when she is on maternity leave. I wish her and Mark the best and am sure their baby will be healthy and happy.

Fun at the Science Center

This picture of Chris, Natalie and Morgan is a clear indication of their positive relationship - this is how they look when they are laughing. Saturday we went to the Science Center to see the Dinasour exhibit and then to the Imax theatre. It was so much fun! We also saw a butterfly exihibit, which was my favorite! If you haven't gone, you should.
