Day[s] of Thanks!

We had a wonderful first Thanksgiving with our little turkeys! We had a great time thinking about all of the things we are thankful for (of which Hudson and William are at the top of the list!) . . . and reminiscing about last Thanksgiving when I was laid out on my Aunt Mary's sofa while people ran back and forth to the kitchen bringing me food! I was hugely pregnant, "on bedrest," and had started to have some of the weird pregnancy ailments that attacked in the last few days. This year, we spent Thanksgiving Eve with the Siddons clan (and we celebrated Baby cousin Sarah's 15th Bday!) CHASING our babies, and then we headed to Maryland to be with the Reppards on Thursday. We had a great time. We are grateful for Jesus, His love and provision for us (as is seen in our many, many blessings), and for our family!

[My big regret is that we didn't get a picture of the boys with GiGi or the extended family! We'll do that when we celebrate Christmas, for sure!]

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!

Look who is standing! (aka: my life is about to change . . . BIG TIME! And, yes, they BOTH stand, but I was only able to catch one on camera this go 'round!)

Hmmm . . . what's that funny noise over there? It's NONNA! (who, by the way, is GREAT at getting these babies' attention during a photoshoot!)

Hudson and William LOVED the new toys at Nonna and Grandpa's House!

. . . spatulas

. . . Cool Whip containers

. . . dish towels (can you tell that william is smiling while looking at his brother?)

. . . and, daddy's FIRST [and, now, very old] tool set!

William also insisted on helping with the post-Thanksgiving dishes!
Storytime with Nonna and Grandpa!
