A Lot to be Thankful For

Both of my girls are napping, my husband is on his way to Oregon, and I am snuggled on the couch with some peppermint tea. I haven't written a post in almost a month and now is as good of time as any. 

Since my last post a lot of things have happened. Prepare to enjoy!

We successfully made it to Oklahoma and moved in to our new home. We thankfully had help from my grandfather in order to accomplish this. Check out his blog at thefidd.blogspot.com to see all the details of the trip. We spent two days driving and so far two weeks unpacking.

We have a gorgeous house that we're very proud of. We now have the daunting task of making in our own. In future posts I'll show how we accomplish that. I have plans for a lot of DIY.

We spent Thanksgiving with one of my sponsor families from the Academy. They have since retired and are now living in Argyle, TX. We had amazing food and a great time catching up. We were very thankful to them welcoming our crazy family into their home. Zed flew to Portland this morning to go see brother #5 play in the state championship football game. 

Ana and Mia are doing great. Ana can roll over both ways, scoot backwards, and sit up unassisted for a few moments at a time. Mia's vocabulary hasn't expanded much, but she is growing is so many other ways. She understands just about everything we ask of her, whether she decides to follow or not is another story. We're very blessed to have our two happy girls.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with love, family, and friends.
