A Sunday Morning

Here is my big boy. He said after he had his tie on..."I am Marvin (Smith the worker) today"

She'll stand for a bit...just not when I want her to! =-)

She has be come attached to Carson's monkey. When we get her out of her crib she has monkey in one hand and her blankee in the other!

Cute shoes...

Carson is sooo big!

Aubrey is sooo big! We gave her some whipped cream, she daintily made a mess. Not like Carson who slapped the cream and made it fly everywhere!

All done.. once she rubbed it in her eye!!!

Well, we had a quiet Thanksgiving dinner here. Uncle Ralph brought by a coconut cream pie! YUMMY! We haven't even dug into the pumpkin and berry pies I made!

The turkey was too done and a tad dry, but flavorful. I injected it with lemon juice, tabasco, water and garlic salt. The potatos had frozen so didn't make very good mashed potatos. Otherwise the rest was great. I carmalized the onions before putting them in the dressing, so you'd get a sweet taste here and there. We played a bit of Train with Carson. Trying to get him ready for when Grammy and Grandpa and Great grandparent Gonces come up. There is usually a marathon game of Train (dominos) going on. Carson's fever is gone, but now Danny and I aren't feeling so great......I guess it is round 2 for us. Ugg.

Here is Aubrey crawling with her blankee from Auntie Jamie. She gets a bit annoyed when it gets caught under her knee in mid stride! =-)

With her blankee...
Uh Oh, She got caught rummaging in the pantry. She found the white fudge covered oreos!

A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand!

Miss Mess....takes after her mama....

Boo Hoo

Well, Carson's fever hasn't gone away, so we made arrangements for Roc and Diann Ahrens to host Thanksgiving. I am really bummed. But I still plan to do the dinner but just for us sickos. =-( Maybe next year!

Cure all

I guess chicken noodle soup is a cure all. Since Carson has had a fever for the last 3 days and hasn't been wanting to eat, I asked Nana what would be best to fix if he did decide to eat. This was her answer. He did eat more than he has in the last couple days and Aubrey ate 3 times as much as I expected! Hopefully Carson is on the mend. I will be bummed if he is still sick and we have to have someone else do Turkey day. I guess disappointments are good for us though. So we'll see!

let it snow!

When the weather outside is frightful....
and the fire is so delightful, and there's really no place to go....

let it snow, let it snow....

let me sew!

(the snow picture is from last winter..it is snowing, just tiny flakes. the top picture was from today...25 makes for tiny flakes and it doesn't pile up much. =-( oh well it is just the begenning of winter! )
