Boys R Us

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgivings.  We had a lovely time!  The boys have just been super fun lately (hence the mini-hiatus from blogging).  Uncle Josh sent us home with some cupcakes that we just HAD to eat.  Sam looks like he's starting early with the facial hair.

 Noah has really taken a shine to his doggy lately.  It's cute that Ellie seems to recognize him as another human for her to play with and snuggle with.  Previously, she had just endured his climbing on her but hadn't sought him out.  It's always nice to see family members getting along.
 We've had a couple of fun friend gatherings lately as well.  I got to spend a little snuggle time with Hattie.  I have to take in my fill of girls because....
 #3 is a boy!  Yep, we had the ultrasound and the radiologist said a) "What a nice looking brain!" and b) "You can bet your house on that!" (as he zoomed in on the obvious male anatomy).  We're thrilled that Mr. Man looks healthy and busy.  The boys are excited to add more testosterone to the mix.
 The older 2 boys have their moments.  Mostly good ones lately with a chant of "brothers forever!" and sitting close on the couch.  I try to take pictures of the good moments to remind them about this when they are 10 and 12 and loathe each other.

 Thanksgiving Day!  We headed to the Hewes house in LaGrange first for a noontime meal and then over to the Rodriguez house in Chicago Ridge for a later afternoon meal.  It was a wonderful day, and we were blessed to have Cliff along with to help wrangle the minions.
 We kicked off December with Noah's preschool class singing at a Saturday night advent service.  His grandparents all came in force.  Sam enjoyed being passed around the whole time.
 Noah sat up front with his class.  (He's on the left in the green sweater).
 The kids sang 2 songs that were adorable (again Noah on far left in green).  Then we went out to dinner with the Grandparents.  It was a special night and really set off the holiday season on a happy note!
