Happy Thanksgiving!


We had a great Thanksgiving at my parents house with the Morano family. It was so fun to see everyone and watch the kids all play together. The feast was amazing, from the homemade pasta, to the turkey, to the ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, asparagus, right down to the chocolate chip cookies, which were eaten VERY fast.

Take 1. Nolan wasn't having this whole picture thing. 

Take 18! 
Yes, I really did take 18 pictures, and this is the best I got.. Which, isn't to bad considering there are 9 children. Cameron was on Aunt Mary's lap for 12 of the 18, and he is looking at me in every single one of them.

One of my favorite pics of the day! Cameron was very
very smiley and actually liked getting his cheeks
squeezed. 

Cute moment of the day! Q loves feeding us. 


Of course I went shopping after the kids were in bed. But, was only out for some things I couldn't order online. My fill of people watching is fulfilled for awhile now. And, my Christmas shopping is near done.

Friday afternoon, Jeremy and I put up the Christmas tree while Quentin and Cameron napped. Quentin loves the tree and all the ornaments.


Other fun pictures from the last few days;





We  have lights up outside, but Jeremy isn't done yet. Once he's done, I'll post a pic of them as well.

All About Photo's

Here are a few photo's from the last few weeks. We continue to fill our days with work, and nights running around, getting dinner on the table, baths taken, and books read. And these days, my bedtime is usually around 9 as Quentin is back to getting up at 5a.m., and wanting a "snack."

Cameron is getting so big and strong. I'm still amazed at how much bigger he is than Quentin was at this age.


Quentin wanted to feed Cameron. It lasted for about 2
seconds, which was my expectation. ;) 





Quentin lately has been jumping on the couch, and singing, "no more monkey's jumping on the bed." I'm trying to teach him that furniture is not meant to be jumped on.  I had no idea these pictures were taken until I uploaded them.




Now that we've been stuck indoors more, Quentin has noticed his little brother. And he's very cute with him. He likes to read to him and share his toys. I can only recall one time, he tried to share his food. Of course, there are still times we play with Cameron with Quentin's toys, and Quentin does not want to share them.



I had a shutterfly party a couple weekends ago. Everyone got a free 8x8 book, some cards, and prints. Hopefully Shutterfly selects me to host another one of theses parties, as I got $50 gift card, some magnets, cards, 8x11 book and a few other things. The only requirement, was that I had to take a group photo.


Lena and Quentin are hilarious when they get together. We told Quentin to put his arm around Lena.


Q playing cars with Cameron. 
Cameron is such a happy baby, and usually just smiles when Jeremy or I talk to him.



Q wanted blueberries and cheese. And, who
can say no to those choices? 

I actually just got done changing Cameron on
the floor of the car. He didn't mind one bit. 


Quentin got a haircut. He's had so many, I've lost count. And, something tells me, Cameron is going to be the same way.




Jeremy and I did Living History Farms race this year, along with 10 of our neighbors. This was Jeremy's first real race, and for some reason, he thought one that was 7.2 miles would be a good one. We survived and had a ton of fun. Maybe next year we'll do the whole costume thing and find a way to bring a camera.
Only 7500 are allowed to sign up, so you have to be quick.
I'll try to get Thanksgiving posted soon.
