Late Pictures from Thanksgiving


Better late than never, right? We spent Thanksgiving in Detroit with Joe's dad and his family and had a wonderful time. It was very laid back, but gave us plenty of time to catch up and enjoy each other's company. We went a little crazy in trying to spoil James... I guess that's first kid syndrome - Joe and I both know how frustrating the next kid in the family can be when you're trying to keep the spotlight all to yourself! :) We also got to meet the newest members of the family, Ruth and Ethan, who are as adorable as you can imagine. These pictures don't do these babies justice!!

Joe showing James how his new Pez dispenser works. It didn't take too long for James to figure that one out!

We also got James some play dough with different moulding accessories, based on Dan and Lisa's recommendations. Man, was it a hit! After exhausting Grandma Dianne, I took over to the play dough games, which ultimately kept him entertained for quite a while!

Linda with Ethan, and Lisa with Ruth. Aren't they so cute??



Joe with our stack of gifts for the kids. Don't worry, not all of those gifts were for James. But most were...Ethan was really getting into the picture taking session. He was incredibly alert and more than willing to throw out a few cute poses. Not bad for a 6 week old!

I hope we're able to see everyone again soon, as it seems like we missed out on a lot of James' getting older over then last two and a half years. They just grow too quickly!
