Happy Thanksgiving

Wesley Matthew is 8 weeks old!

I can't believe that he is already 8 weeks. He is starting to coo and smile. He is also so alert...looking around and checking out everything.

Wesley is also beginning to find his hands and starting to grab at things.

Katherine is a wonderful big sister. She is a great helper and loves her little brother.

I am healing up great from my umbilical hernia surgery and feeling stronger all of the time. I am looking forward to being off all weight restrictions FINALLY and getting ACTIVE AGAIN!

We miss Matt so much but he is doing great and working hard. We can't wait for January when we can go and visit him in GA.

Bundled up and ready to go!

Katherine pulled up her chair and decided Grandpa should share his supper with her. This is after she had already had her own. Although this time all she really wanted was his olives!!

Wesley's 1st Thanksgiving

SO serious!


Trying out his new car seat...my little elephant.
As you can see he wasn't very excited about this!
Cuddled up in a blanket and stretched out on the floor are two of Wesley's favorite places to be.


This year we have so much to be thankful for that it is hard to know where to begin: A healthy baby boy; a beautiful little girl; Matt's new job; a wonderful, supportive family and friends....the list could go on forever.
It has been great to be back in Minnesota while I recover.
We miss you so much Matt/Daddy.
Love you lots!
Happy Thanksgiving.
We are so blessed!
