Wordless Wednesday

Giving Thanks At The Farm

For Thanksgiving Doug's mom rented a farm house across the water near Kingston. I was scheduled to work on Thanksgiving but was able to make it out with Doug and Coop for one day. Doug and Cooper stayed through Thanksgiving and had a very good time. It is always so fun to see Cooper play with his cousins. He has really grown up. We got lots of lovely photos and even scored our Christmas card photo (not seen here, it has to be a surprise!)
I think Coop had a little too much fun because he has been sick all week since we got back. I think he was a bit overstimulated. O well, it was worth the fun!
We are thankful for family, health, and friends. Oh, and for Cooper. He spilled the beans about the new baby over Thanksgiving by telling people that he had a baby in his tummy. Well, if mommy has a baby in her tummy, why can't he? The cat was pretty much out of the bag after that. Yup, a new baby to come this summer and we are so excited. Being parents has been such a wonderful experience, another child can only double our joy! We are so blessed!
And on the the next holiday!!!

A special turkey craft done with Grandma


Making the turkey

The older kids had started on the craft and Coop walked up to the table to get in on the action. He was really one of the kids, not so much a baby anymore (sigh).

This boy...

Oh how I love this boy. His little voice saying "Mommy" from across the house, his wonderful giggle, the way his hair smells so sweet, his tight hugs, his constant singing, his even more constant talking, his energy and eagerness for life, everything about him. How am I so lucky to have him in my life? I don't know. I shall never take this boy for granted, never.

Too cute for words

Choo Choo...

Cooper spends a lot of time playing with his trains. This Brio train set was Doug's when he was a little boy. It brings us much joy watching Cooper play with the exact train set that Doug played with as a boy. This truly is an heirloom toy.

Sleepy

I wish I looked this cute when I just woke up in the morning. This is Cooper first thing in the AM. Happy Monday!

Fall

I am so excited! Doug and I just splurged and purchased a very nice camera!! We got the Cannon EOS 50 D!!
Today, Annie and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch and I really got to try out the camera for the first time. I still have much to learn. I am considering taking a class so I can get really good at using this professional grade camera.
Because the photos came out so cute, Ann agreed to let me post some photos of our baby girl on my blog!
I love all the fall colors and activities!
