ME!

This past week, like every other American in this country celebrated Thanksgiving. We celebrated with just our little family but we had enough food to feed a lot more. Dad always fixes the bird and I’m in charge of the other things. I made the pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes the night before which made the last minute preparations just a little less stressful. Samantha enjoyed a small bit of it, she only ate the green beans and a portion of a roll.

We’ve always known that when Samantha was born our life would center around her. Lately she seems to have caught on. It’s a little joke between Travis and I because when he says, “It’s all about who?” she always says “me!”. Boy, does she know it. I’m afraid she’s going to have a rude awakening when little brother gets here!

Today Samantha woke up with what appears to be her first cold. She doesn’t really have a runny nose but has a nasty sounding cough every once in a while is a bit more clingy. I’m hoping she’ll get over it soon because we have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks.

Friday we got our Christmas tree. Samantha kept on saying “tree, tree”. Saturday night it had fallen enough that we could put on the lights and decorate it. We made sure to put only Samantha friendly ornaments on the tree and so far (knock on wood) she hasn’t really bothered it. She does love the lights though. It was one of the first things she asked for when she got up this morning.


I took a few pictures of Samantha this week just for the fun of it. Here are a couple of what we got...

Pie is good to the last lick (that means the whipped cream)...


There's been a request of a picture of me pregnant so here I am at 24 weeks...
