So obviously…I suck at this now! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to everyone!
Above should be photo album of pictures from October through November. I think I stuck one of Halloween in there too.
Things have been good around here. Nyssa is growing like mad. She’s talking so much now. She says, hello. Which cracks me up. Banana’s are ‘bubby’, She has FINALLY started saying please! It comes out ‘me.’ I’ll take what I can get. She will pretty much try and copy everything you ask her to say. You can’t always understand it, but she tries! There are quite a few and I’m drawing a complete blank! We moved around the furniture. We did have the coffee table blocking the entertainment center. Once she figured out how to climb up, it did us no good. It got her closer to the TV! Since Christmas was coming we figured we would give it a shot at putting the furniture back to the original places! It’s all worked out fine. The coffee table is now her performance stage, but it all works out!
Thanksgiving was good. Chuck got the big kids and went to his sisters in St. Charles. Nyssa and I went up to the Egert’s for Thanksgiving. I had to work the next day at 9, and wanted to be able to put Nyssa to bed at a normal time. (His sister’s house is an hour away, add a half an hour to drop to the kids off at home and you are easily looking at 10pm.) It pretty much sucked not all being together for Thanksgiving, but it was also great to spend it at the Egert’s house! After all, that’s where I spent MANY Thanksgivings!
The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed to fly. We think Chuck had the H1N1. He had a fever for about 5 days and pretty much just ached all over. I was panicked until I remembered that Nyssa had the H1N1 shot and I had the nasal mist. Thankfully, they worked!
We had the Samples family Christmas at our place on Christmas night. It was a good time. There were 16 of us total in our apartment! It wasn’t as cramped at you would think! The kids made out like bandits! They always have so much fun playing with their cousins. I think there is a picture of Chuck’s Mom and all the grandkids in the photo album above.
Nyssa and I were off work last week, and we are heading back tomorrow. Last week Nyssa learned to sleep in! She was sleeping in until 9 or 10 most mornings! It was so nice! The kids are off school this week, so that may change! We may have to be there earlier than normal. We can’t wait to get back and see them all!
Chuck is at work today. He’ll be home about 7:15 this evening. Nyssa and I did some laundry today, now it’s nap time. (For Nyssa :)) Mommy’s going to fold some laundry and catch up on TV shows!
We hope everyone had a great Holiday! Happy New Year!
