Thanksgiving

I tend to amaze myself at how well I can still cook a big family dinner. The Thanksgiving turkey may have been a bit overcooked but who cares about turkey when you have all the delicious sides.

Even Pearl thought the meal was good.

My favorite is getting just the perfect family selfie. I'm always hoping that maybe some day all the kids will look at the camera and Jamie won't have his eyes closed. Congrats to Michael for always coming through! 

VIP Day - Lincoln and Hazel

 Mason had their annual VIP Day or as I like to still call it - Grandparents Day.

Lincoln, Hazel and I have this down to a science so we don't have to wait in lines. We go to the book fair. Get our picture taken then eat a donut. Everyone else heads straight for the food. After that we visit classrooms and if there's time, we do the craft.

I tried to get Lincoln to let me kiss him on the cheek but what can I say. He's 10!

Pearl - 9 Months

Pearl at 9 months is cruising around the furniture, pushing her activity table across the room and crawling all the way up the stairs. (No repercussions from that fall down the stairs!)

She's everywhere!

Double Digits for Lincoln

Wow! Another kid in double digits.

Lincoln turned 10. It's hard to buy presents for the kids. Mostly because they have everything you could think of plus their ideas differ from mine...duh! Lincoln couldn't wait for all the family dinner stuff to be done so he could try out his new scooter. My heart sinks every time I see this boy do stunts. Happy Birthday Lincoln!
