The turkey has just been put in the oven and soon the house will smell the yummy smells of Thanksgiving.
There are so many things that I am thankful for- too many to count. My greatest blessings being my faith in Jesus Christ, the loves of my life- my husband and kids, being only 16 weeks away from meeting our baby boy, and the support and love of lots of friends and family.
Last night, we were especially thankful that this little guy was okay.Our little man decided he wanted to be just like his daddy and tried to use a razor blade to shave during his bath. With all the blood that we saw gushing out and kept from spilling everywhere, we thought his lip was all shredded. It turned out to be just a little cut about a half inch long. Crazy boy.
Have a great turkey day and make sure you take time to count your many blessings!

Why did I wait?
Had I potty trained him in the Spring, I could have gotten to look at this all Summer...
This morning started out pretty rough, but by 3 p.m. he knew when he had to go and what to do. He had no accidents this afternoon. This book worked for us again.

Wrong Again!
Halloween always seems to sneak up on us each year since all our focus (well, "my" focus) is on Joanna's birthday the week before. We didn't even decorate our porch until the morning of.
Now the gorgeous porch below is not ours, but the cute kids on it sure are.
(Mysteriously, he found his bag just a quarter of the way full the next morning)
Halloween was a fun time with doughnuts and sloppy joes at Grandma's followed by an awful movie "The Blob". I say awful because Logan and I paid for it that night with a scared Joanna waking us up 4 times.
Sammy, on the otherhand, claims everything that is for boys/a boy/in boy colors to be HIS. So
this is now "his" baby.
I have to say that the first thought that came to my head when we were told it is a boy was "Oh no, poor Joanna." But a second later I could not wipe the smile off my face.
I was going to be a mother to two "boyS".
Sammy's going to have a little buddy.
Logan has another best friend.
And I get to experience this again...

Fairy Princess Party
Joanna wanted a fairy princess party this year - big surprise. I have to say, it is so fun to plan a girly party. I'm not so sure what I'll do for a "boy" party for Sammy. I guess I have a few years before I have to worry about that. Here are some highlights of the day's festivities.
oh. so. cute!
(Oh, and if you are in need of all things fairy, I found them here.)

Little Teapots
How hard is it to be a teapot, really? Apparently, its really hard for a 2 year old.

September
Our family is excited that Fall has finally arrived and for everything that comes with it- the beautiful colors on the mountains, the comfort food, the cooler but not freezing weather (being the walking furnace that I am these days, I'm especially thankful for this!) and a visit from Lela and Lolo. Here's some of what we've been up to this past month.
Here's Joanna in front of her preschool on the first day.
