Two Turkeys for Thanksgiving

We had two turkeys for Thanksgiving this year! One we had to cook for 5 hours (the red timer took forever to pop!) and one we could just gobble up with a spoon! We had a Thanksgiving with our new family of three and made many new memories. So here is how the day went: We had a lovely breakfast of pigs in a blanket and french toast; Everett had oatmeal and applesauce. We then began the cooking process, which took most of the morning but was really fun (we had Christmas movies continually playing in the background). Finally, we ate and ate...Everett didn't make it through the whole meal though and a nap was definitely in order. Eric and I enjoyed good conversation, just the two of us. Our lives have become so busy that quiet conversation has become such a rare occasion and a special treat. After Everett woke up from his nap, we all took a walk around our neighborhood. When we got back, Eric feel into a deep Turkey coma and I played with Everett. Then we watched "It's a Wonderful Life" which I actually have never seen before and love now! The thought of leftovers kind of made us ill (I guess we ate too much for lunch), so after we put Everett to bed we had Lucky Charms for dinner and watched The Office reruns. What a perfectly fun day. I love my little family :)

Six Months Old

Everett turned six months yesterday! The time has gone by so fast! Look how far our little Everett boy has come....

Beach Babe

Last week Everett and I went to Vero Beach, Florida to visit my family. We had a great time and Everett had several "firsts." One, he had his first plane ride. He did great and now is a true jetsetter if you ask me! Second, he saw the ocean for the first time. Everett loves water, but I didn't think he would really pay much attention to the ocean. He proved me wrong as he squealed in delight every time the water touched his feet. Jetsetter and a beach baby....what a boy!
