Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent this Thanksgiving in Detroit with Kevin’s family. It was a little different b/c Kevin’s sister’s family didn’t come (we missed you guys)… Ethan didn’t know what to do without his cousins to play with. But it was still a very nice visit. Kevin’s aunt and uncle from GA were in town so that was great to be able to visit with them! Ethan took a special liking to his second cousin, Andrew.

Lucas enjoyed his first Thanksgiving dinner and Ethan could have cared less…. someday he’ll love it.

We came home on Friday to celebrate my Mom’s birthday at a local restaurant. And on Saturday we got most of our Christmas decorations up…. despite both Kevin and me feeling a bit under the weather. All in all it was a great weekend spent with family.

- Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
