lots to be thankful for

We truly do have a lot to be thankful for. Cindy is continuing to have a great pregnancy. She has been feeling well all along and we all are very excited for the arrival and the transition from a family of three to a family of four. We are using the same midwife that we used when I was pregnant and are looking foward to another wonderful birth for our second child. Garrett has become very affectionate toward Cindy's belly/the baby lately, which has been so sweet. We are not finding out the gender of the baby until the big arrival, but just about every time we ask Garrett if he'll have a baby brother or a baby sister, he replies "baby ister". . . So we'll just have to wait and see!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week and as always constant reminders of all of the love we have in our lives. We spent Thanksgiving day at Great Grama Donna's house with lots of family. Garrett had a blast and was on the go all day long. He especially enjoyed G-Gram's roll throwing and green bean casserole at dinner. It only took moments before he was asleep for the car ride home after all of the playing we did that day. Thanksgiving was also the birth day of baby Owen, to moms Lindsay and Dana. (check him out at http://danalindsayandbabymakesthree.blogspot.com/) We are super excited for them and can't wait to meet the little guy.

everybody all together at Thanksgiving

Mama had to work Friday and Garrett and I stayed at home all day long, no shopping for us thank you, just resting. Saturday we celebrated with the Bousley family for Kennedy's first birthday party. Garrett and Kennedy interacted much more than the last time they were together this summer, which was very fun to watch.

On Sunday we set off to do something fun and new and ended up at Henry Ford Museum to check out the Lego Exhibit. It was so awesome and Garrett instantly fell in love with it, especially checking out all of the cars and trains. He wanted to pose in front of every car for a picture and really enjoyed himself. checking out the dragon Mama & Garrett with the knight

We also went to the tree lighting ceremony here where we live last night. Garrett was very into the pretty lights and cookies and very anti-Santa again this year. He had his picture taken with him but he was very frightened and not happy with the situation. Maybe when he's 3 he'll like Santa? Or maybe never. Oh well!
