So much to be thankful for!














Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! We have a lot to be thankful for including two healthy and mostly happy little boys, a great loving family & amazing friends. We love you all.

The boys and I are enjoying this holiday week and playing at home more than usual. They also have hair appointments scheduled for tomorrow evening - this is exciting on so many levels, first it is Lincoln's first haircut by anyone other than his daddy and Carter's cow-lick is out of control and he has Dennis the Menace hair that can't be tamed right now!

Yesterday we went to the pet store with some of our MOMS friends and Carter was not the least bit interested in touching any of the animals. He backed way from all of them unless they were in their cages (if any of my college roommates read this - they are thinking - just like his mom with the bunnies!) He liked the hamster but only because it had a little toy car to play with in it's cage. Lincoln on the other hand actually tried to grab the hamster which frightened me! I couldn't believe how brave some of the little kids were- touching the python and hooded dragon. Carter must have been traumatized because when I woke him up from his nap he started screaming that there was a snake in his bed and without really thinking it through I jumped up off his bed too! Guess he was dreaming but I wasn't taking any chances either.

Here are a few other things that Carter has said recently that have cracked me up - Grandma's store is no longer the Fickle Frog - he calls it the Pickle Frog, he often refers to Lincoln as "Lincoln Hogan" now when he is doing something he isn't allowed to do and he is starting to understand that he doesn't want to have anything girly- he told me - that is girly the other day. Always a laugh with him. Lincoln has been hearing "Lincoln Hogan" a lot lately as he has started crawling onto the train track. He isn't the kind of road block you would want on your train track.

Have a great Thanksgiving & enjoy your turkey as we enjoy our beef!
