November 2010

Most of you have seen these pictures but I thought I would include them for journaling purposes. I love looking at these pictures. It reminds me of how much my beautiful children have changed and evolved over time, and how my relationship with them continues to change and evolve as they grow. It is so amazing to be a mother. I am honored to be one and am counting my wonderful blessings this Thanksgiving. Did I mention my great husband who let me sleep in Saturday and Sunday and made me breakfast both mornings. I am blessed. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

So these are

my beautiful kids! Am I proud? Yes I am! More pics to come, but I just thought I'd update my blog for once. Life is settling down a bit since our move back to our homeland. Gracie loves first grade now. Surprise! Her teacher is Ms. Nash and she loves being back with her old friends. Ava and Gracie are both in gymnastics again, which they just love! Breck has spent his time following Ryan around for every project he has undertaken, including trying to finish the girls room down stairs. He is a miniature Ryan and it is just too cute! Baby Jesse is either smiling or sleeping, and I am just trying to finish up my schooling, keep the house somewhat orderly, keep my addiction to food under control and get on the treadmill as often as I can.

The highlight of my month was heading to the Cheesecake Factory last night with a group of our friends. 6 couples and LOTS of laughing. It was so nice to just get out. Did I mention I had to bring the baby since we are attached at the.....well.....hip? But he is so great I didn't hear a peep from him all night!
