Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We spent Thanksgiving in Flint with our families this year. It was so nice to see everyone. We spent the holiday at Mom's house drinking cosmo's, cooking turkey and playing with the wee tykes- Will and Isaac. Will is all over the place and becoming more of a little boy each day! I will download the pictures and try to get them posted by the end of the week!

As I write this, Isaac is sitting next to me in his boppy, chatting up a storm with his red crab rattle. Yes, he now smiles and chats like you would not believe. He is 11 weeks old today and it is amazing how much he is getting interested in the world around him. He notices the color red a lot (funny, because that is my favorite color!), laughs, gruns, coos and smiles.

As of today, he is 11lbs, 10oz. Can you believe it!? He is still gaining about an ounce a day. At this rate, he will be a giant!!!...or at least a really fat little monkey. hee hee.

I have started back to work a little...yes...a little - only about 8-10 hours a week for now. In December I will start to do slightly more, ramping up to part time. In January, I will return to the office 2 days a week, while Isaac goes off to a place where he will break some other women's hearts...(I am convincing myself that is what is going on, not day care).

Also, Congrats to Barb and Paul - a cyber friend from CMU and her husband, who live in the Flint area, who just had their twins this weekend!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!

New Pictures!

As I write this - Brian is putting up more pictures on our webpage!! Check it out!

Weeks 7-9 - we had Halloween, a visit from "aunts" Courtney and Kathy, dinner with friends - after which we got perhaps our last "prego" photo of Mindi and Heather, and of course, Isaac being a rock star in his NIN onsie from Kev and Mon.

Baptism - St. Matthew Church, Flint MI, Nov 11th, 2006. Father Frederick Taggart officiating. Godparents Michael Freeman and Molly Proctor. Afterwords, we returned to Mom's where Perry made an awesome meal! Everything went perfectly!

Last week, Isaac had his 2 month wellness check. He was 10lbs 8oz, 21" inches long! Meaning, now, he is over 11lbs! So hard to believe that he has gained more weight in 9.5 weeks than he weighed when he was born!

This weekend, we stayed home. We were supposed to go to my brother's house so Brian could hunt, but they caught a nasty bug. We stayed in and watched the UM vs. OSU game with friends.

This week is Thanksgiving. My favorite holiday!!!! Since I am off work, I will be heading to Flint early to get things ready, and B will come when he gets out. It will be so much fun to see Will and Isaac have their first holiday together!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
