More Thanksgiving

This is Aunt Mary at 34 weeks of pregnancy and your mommy at 25 weeks. I am thankful to share this pregnancy experience again with my sister. I'm thankful for a wonderful family that loves me unconditional. I'm thankful for a loving husband and Lord that has blessed me with a wonderful life.



We started getting ready to put up the Christmas tree. Cooper and Noah were napping and we decided to start when they woke up. This is my parents first Christmas tree when they were first married.


After Noah and Cooper's nap we put up my parents Christmas tree. This is Cooper trying his best to help move the box.








Cooper waiting to hand his piece of tree over.


Time to decorate.




Cooper happy his ornament stayed on the tree.



















The famous star! This star has been the Christmas tree star for as long as I can remember.




The tree decorated.


I told Cooper this Christmas wreath went on the door. He said "Oh, okay". This is wear he put the wreath. Love it!

Thanksgiving

Cooper brought home this picture from his day morning at New Heights and afternoon with Barb. We were leaving the next day for the beach and I really enjoyed reading words on Cooper's picture. What a great way to start our Thanksgiving!

We arrived at the beach to see: "Grandfather", "Grandma", "Aunt Mary", "Uncle Chris", and "Noah". This was Cooper and Noah seeing each other for the first time.


This was Thanksgiving morning.


Noah saying hey. Cooper saying "What's that Noah?" Noah is holding a train remote and Cooper wanting to see how it worked.


After breakfast, Uncle Chris showing Cooper how to work the train remote.


Noah showing me how the train started was because of the remote.


Moving on to something new. This was the compromise only having one dump truck to ride. I was happy to see Noah and Cooper work this out for themselves.




Switching places.


Cooper and Noah.


Cooper saying "choo-choo".




Noah's sweet face.

Uncle Chris making the turkey. It was very, very good!!


After eating Cooper enjoying the view out of the kitchen window.


Cooper wondering if fish are swimming in the water. I'm sure he dreamed about this during his nap. I know I had a great nap too!

Cold & Rainy

This weekend it was pretty chilly and wet. Cooper woke up with a cough Friday night. His voice is hoarse and his nose is runny. We stayed home most of Saturday and Sunday. This was the start of day yesterday: Relax Mode.


This was Cooper set-up. He asked for his train pillow and then placed the pillows how he wanted to sit. We ate breakfast on the floor in our room near the fireplace. We watched one of Cooper's favorite: Max & Ruby.


Cooper really didn't want much of his breakfast, so I knew he wasn't feeling the best. I knew the drainage was probably interfering with his appetite .


Love how Cooper can relax.


One of our first activities of the day. We started with the fish stickers.


Cooper's sticker-piece. He wanted to put a fish in each hand and one below the feet, in the water.


Next, washable paint. Cooper was little unsure of this paint at first. But not for long. This is Cooper trying to decide which color to use next.


Painting the clouds blue.


Painting the grass green.


Cooper painted one long line of grass.


The finally picture. The clouds are blue, grass is green, flower is purple/pink, sun is orange, and Mickey's foot and hand are red. I think its perfect!
