Will's 1st Thanksgiving!

We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving with Kyle's family at their lake house in Centre, Alabama.  The main attraction in Centre, besides the lake, is the drive-in movie or the Super Wal-Mart.  Katie and I (with some help from Jay) prepared the meal because Vickie, unfortunately, came down with a bug and wasn't able to make the trip until Friday.  We ended up leaving for the 3-hour drive to Centre at 9:30pm and it worked out great!  Will slept the entire way (you may recall he is not a very good car rider).   He also did great sleeping in the crib at the lake house...only a handful of "having to put the paci in the mouth" encounters.  It was a great holiday and I'm glad that we were able to spend time together as a family.  Kyle and I have so much to be thankful for this year--a wonderful and supportive family, good friends, good health and a good job.  We are especially thankful for the addition of our healthy baby boy!  He is such a blessing to both of us and we thank God for him each day.  

On Will's 1st Thanksgiving, he told Daddy that he is thankful for the following:

Mommy

Daddy

Charlie

Max

and the milk :)

 Cloudy and wet but still a great day!

Kyle's parents leave this week to go to Russia to FINALLY get Anastasia and bring her home.  Because of the timing, they won't be here with us for Christmas.  We will have to celebrate Christmas with Grammy and Poppy T and Anastasia a few days late this year.
