Thanksgiving Thursday

It's Thanksgiving Thursday and I haven't participated in quite a while so here it goes for today!

1. Easter Vacation. I really needed a break from the every day getting up, getting out, running around routine. Not sure how I will feel about it by Monday but for tday I am thankful.
2. Emma made it through to Easter break without missing a day of school!!!
3. A beautiful day that wasn't wasted, we went to two parks, out to lunch with Papa, and the girls are still outside with him now.
4. My sister is holding her own, now 32 weeks pregnant with the twinkies.
5. Palm Sunday, was great spending time with my Aunt and Cousin, Mom and sister.
6. The bad dream I had last night, it was bad, scary bad, but I hope that feeling stays with me and reminds me how lucky I am and that I will not waste more days away doing nothing.
7. Kailee's OT, I've seen some improvements and now that I have some ways to work with her it really helps my outlook.
8. My girls. (Enough said)
9. My network of "online" friends, it's so good to have a place to go where you can say anything and not be judged, but be helped and supported.
10. My frustratingly always messy house, it means I have a house and stuff to make it a mess.

Trying To Keep Up

Well time is flying! Easter is less than a week away, and I can't believe how fast the first 3 months of the year have gone by. On the same note, Gabby is almost 5 months old. How on earth can that be? Time has flown, I thought that I could keep her from growing up so fast, but boy was I mistaken.


On Friday she thought it would be a good time to get up on all fours and try to now crawl forward! What happened to being content with going backwards for a while? On Saturday she decided it would be a good time to raspberry! I can see the intent look on her face when she is trying to learn something new. She watched me do raspberries and slowly but surely she had it mastered, it's so cute (as long as food is not involved). She also spent a lot of time in her exersaucer on Saturday, it's so cute and she really likes it.


Sunday we were at Munya's for Palm Sunday. Aunt Mary, Uncle Ralph, Denise, Tony & the boys as well as Michelle & Chris were all there. Talk about time flying AJ will be 18, in July. Yup, 18. I can't even imagine, I was 19 when he was born. Where does the time really go? Next Palm Sunday Michelle's babies will be walking around. I wish I could slow it down.
Gabby tried some Italian bread yesterday and Pizza crust today. We go to the doctor tomorrow and I am pretty sure I will be able to start her on solids. I was hoping to delay it until she was 6 months old, but this girl wants to eat.
