Holidays

Today feels like the weekend because Jeremy has been home all day. I love it! It makes me so happy for all of us to be home at the same time with not a whole lot that has to be done. Finally, I feel better. Thank the Lord for the antibiotics. Why they made me wait two weeks before giving them to me I don't know, but hooray for feeling better! It was not fun not being myself. Now that I am feeling better things are getting done around here. My house got pretty messy and it was making me crazy so I have actually enjoyed cleaning up the last couple days in between visits from friends and family for Thanksgiving. My friend Alissa and her family are in town (I think I said that yesterday?) so we enjoyed spending time with them early this week and now Rob, Tiffany and little Allie are here. I am enjoying holding her and just getting her little face stuck in my brain. She's such a sweetie. It was fun for Jeremy to meet her today. He loves tiny babies so he was happy to hold her for awhile too. The kids are of course crazy about her and so happy to have two little cousins.

After dinner tonight I asked Jake if he wanted to go shopping with me. I needed some tights for the girls and I really only intended to buy that, but then when we got to Gymboree I realized it was that time of year...this happened last year too. They pull out all their boxes and mark everything down. Plus, the whole store was 25% off and I had a 20% off coupon. So, we were there awhile. He was a really good sport. He sat and watched the tv and then he went and looked at the boys clothes. He walked up to the register with a super cute scarf around his neck. He really liked it and since he never seems interested in what I buy him I thought we should definitely get it. He looks really cute in it. After that we ran through Tim Hortons and got Jake his favorite treat, Honey Dip Timbits. It was a fun time with my boy.

We are looking forward to tomorrow. Thanksgiving is such a special time. We are blessed and I am so amazed each year at all that has happened and how we have always been taken care of. I love my life (even on the crazy days) and really wouldn't want it any other way.
