Ohhh the Holidays are here!!!

Thanksgiving with a new baby in the family!

Every year, for the past...maybe 9-10 years, we've been going to the Macknets for Thanksgiving.  I don't think I can imagine Thanksgiving without them!  Whether it's at Danielle's house or Cathy's...it's always so much fun!  I remember the first time we made a veggie turkey (with legs and all) or eating Elaine's amazing gluten...it's just food you crave for all year long...and let me not get started on the rolls, the waldorf salad, the cranberry sauce that Cathy made last year...etc. etc. etc.  I know I'm mixing a couple of Thanksgivings, but it's just all worth mentioning.  (ohh...the pies!!  Those pies that were just....there are no words!!)
This year we went up to Cathy and her parent's house, and had an amazing meal.  The kids played in their ginormous living room till they were tired of playing.  We chitchatted and got all caught up with our lives.  It's so much fun to have friends that you can go hang out and it feels like family!
So one Thanksgiving was not enough this year!!!  We had two!  The next day we all went to the Sawyer's house.  Ohhh the yummy food!!  It was so good!!  (It always is...Thanksgiving is the best, and two Thanksgivings is just yummy^2).  So we did the same thing...we hung out...chit chatted and just had a blast!  We are so blessed we have such wonderful people in our lives!  We give thanks that we have wonderful family, friends, jobs, and most of all...baby Jordan!!  It has been so wonderful to have him be part of our family and we give thanks everyday that he is a healthy and happy baby boy!

My little Bam BAM!!

Where should I begin!!  You are a little human tornado!!!  I've been trying to clean the house for the last three days and it looks like I need to call FEMA to rescue us out of the living room!  It's not that bad...but boy can you make a mess.  You use both hands and it's grab, and throw over the head.  I need to tape you. You are sooooo cute!!!

Cute little lamb!

You are still 9 months.  This last week you learned to wave bye bye....so cute!
Teething has been really hard for you.  Right now, you have 1 and 1/2 teeth.  When you smile really big I get to see them and it makes my heart melt.

Jordan and mommy talking!

At the pumpkin patch with your friend Sophie!

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!

The fam at the pumpkin patch!

This one! I like this one!
You stand up all by yourself and grab everything...then fling it over your head to the floor.
You've been so lovey dovey lately.  When you wake up from your naps you become a snuggle bug.  You get so snuggly...it's my favorite.
We've been really busy lately.  Last week we went to your uncle Robby's and Gia's wedding.  It was such a beautiful event.  Everyone loved seeing you and we loved seeing them.

The Geach side of the family

The new family!
Your Grandma Ginny and your grandpa Bob loved spending time with you.  They even tried sitting you on the tractor...which did not work out so well.
love you tons,
mommy
