Thanksgiving:
My sister Stephanie got sick with the flu so we had to post-pone Thanksgiving to the saturday after. We did however to go my in-laws on Thanksgiving. Both of our parents had ham. Steph's boyfriend Patrick (Patty) gave us a turkey! So I brined it (something new I learned and will do from now on) and put cajun seasoning on it. It was the best turkey I've ever had. I'm not just saying that cause I made it either. It was extremely good!
Sean had to clean the turkey... I can't touch it. It's gross!
Jacob's birthday:
This past weekend Hailey went to Jacob's 1st birthday party. Hailey had a lot of fun even though she couldn't eat some cake. I look forward to her first birthday when she can dig into some cake. Sean had no problem digging into his when he was a baby. Me on the other hand, I didn't want to touch it cause I didn't want to get dirty. My Uncle Dan ended up taking my hands and putting them in the cake. Then I pulled my hands out, looked at them and cried. lol.
Hailey's development:
Hailey is now holding her hands and grabbing things very well. She holds her head up enough that I have her in a bumbo. She loves to reach up and touch my mouth when I'm feeding her and I playfully tug on her hands with my mouth. She smiles and laughs. The only way she giggles is to lightly blow on her tummy or the bottom of her feet. She sounds like a munchkin when she giggles. It's so adorable! I start Hailey's last feeding at 7:30 or 8:00 at night so she wakes up at about 5:30 or 6:00 AM to eat. I just put her in the bed laying down with me and she eats and we fall back asleep. I get to cuddle with her for an hour or two! =o) Sean keeps reminding me that we won't be letting our kids sleep in bed with us. I agree but this is different!
Youth Group:
The youth group is coming to our home tomorrow evening to go to some trampoline place in Longwood. It's a warehouse that has trampolines on the floor and walls. Hailey and I will sit on the side and watch everyone else do it. Even if I didn't have Hailey there, I wouldn't be jumping. I injured my ankle years ago on a trampoline. It never fully healed.
This past Friday night I had the youth middle school girls for a sleepover. We also celebrated Bethany's 14th birthday. She brought a lot of friends. We had 9 girls here. It was insane!! Luckily, my neighbor was out all night (she got engaged!!!) so we didn't bother her. BTW, 5 alkaseltzers and diet coke in your mouth becomes explosive material!!
Work:
Sean and I are really praying about our work. The economy is in a recession and it is, as with every other business, effecting us negatively. Luckily, we have work right now. We are praying for more work and God's provision for us. He has been faithful to provide for us in the past, so I know He will provide for our future. I got a word a couple weeks ago to trust Him in the everyday things. It was a right word for me so I'm trying to walk that out.
My mom:
My mom has just a couple more weeks of radiation to go and then she will be done!! She has been doing so great through all of this. Her hair is growing in nicely. She still wears a wig or hats because she wants it to get longer first. I'm so proud of her and how she has dealt with all of this cancer stuff. Soon it will be all behind her! We put the tree up this past saturday. I thought Hailey would be transfixed by it but she doesn't really even notice it. I have the cutest little Christmas outfit for her. I will get pics in the next week and post them!
