A Happy First Thanksgiving with Babies!






Chris's parents and my mom came to Avondale for Thanksgiving this year. Mom stayed almost a week here in our guest room; Frank stayed 4 days, and Kathy stayed for 11 days. They stayed in our condo in Litchfield Park, and Kathy caught a flight home this morning. The babies were so lucky to have their grandparents to hold them, feed them, and play with them. We enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving dinner--with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, rutabagas, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. The babies just had their regular food, but they got to try their first chicken this week. Pureed chicken may not sound too appealing, but they like it mixed into their baby rice cereal!

I went back to work on Wednesday, and it was wonderful to have Granny here to take care of the little dudes. They loved it! And, Chris was able to get out of the house to pursue his new goal--becoming a physical therapy assistant. He has to do 40 hours of volunteer work and then he starts some on-line classes at the end of January. His program will begin in late spring through Gateway College.

That's all for now! xo, j&c, m&t
