Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a great Turkey day! We went to Jeffrey's parents house with his brother's and sister's families, and ate the BEST food ever! Gracen enjoyed playing with her cousins and swinging the most!

Gracen loves her baby brother! We haven't had a bit of trouble or jealousy out of her. Anytime she hears him make a sound, she gasps and says "Baby!" and then she runs to him, strokes his head and tells him, "shh, shh". But if he doesn't stop crying, she asks for his passy. She feels his pain! She loves to hold him, kiss on him, and talk to him. When she holds him, she says, "hey baby" over and over. She will say his name when we ask her, but he is usually refered to as "Baby" by her. She loves her "Baby" and is a great big sister!

My parents came Friday and couldn't wait to see their grand babies again! I am so thankful for my family! I love them all so much! I am so blessed to have such a loving family, for 2 healthy children, and a wonderful husband! God has blessed us beyond measure!

On a little funny note...
Today about an hour after I put Gracen down for her nap, I heard her in the hallway. I rounded the corner to quite a surprise. She had stripped down to the buff and was wiping the floor with one of Jackson's blankets. When I asked her if she tee teed in the floor, she said "uh huh." Apparently she had stripped down, played in her room, and wet the bed. I found 2 diapers, wipes, and Desitin in the floor in my bedroom. I guess she tried to take care of the situation herself before calling in the reinforcements. I got pretty tickled, but I'm hoping this isn't the next phase. I believe potty training is just around the corner...maybe after I get a little sleep!


Oh, today is Jackson's due date. Kind of funny to think about!

Pictures

Here's a few pictures until I get a little time to post more.

Bringing Jackson home from the hospital! My mom smocked his gown. It is beautiful!

Daddy with his new pride and joy!

Gigi and Jackson

Gracen lovin' on her baby.

I just thought he looked so cute and so tiny!

Jeffrey, Jackson, and Gracen

Jeffrey decided to have a little fun and put Jackson's diaper on Gracen. This was the pose she would assume whenever we asked to see her diaper. After a few minutes she walked around like nothing was out of the ordinary, but we just couldn't quit laughing at her!
