Tea

At the end of a long day, usually one filled with many tears, I enjoy a cup of tea for dinner. It's very soothing and calming.

4 AM

Somtimes....



Chloe & I read the news in bed at 4 AM........thankfully this has only happened 2 or 3 times in her life thus far :-)

Let's not make a habit of it Chloe May!

Thanksgiving early AM

Happy 1st Thanksgiving Chloe May!!

Yes Dear Blog Readers, our day started out as bright as can be - hence Matteo's sunglasses :-)

And all dressed up and ready to hit the road at 7:56 AM sharp! No traffic was going to stop our new minivan.

After 10 attempts...this was my best shot of the two of them....sadly relizing my christmas card work is cut out for me.

With smiles like these, you know the day is going to be a great one.

Thanksgiving mid-AM

Such a beauitful picture of my Godson JJ (age 9) and Chloe May on her first Thanksgiving.

Colle and me.

And this year I thought it important to memoralize Grandma's table...Grandma and Gramps sure work hard to put together a nice day for everyone.

Even Chloe had to stop mid-morning for a cat nap.

The evening

At the end of the long day... everyone was tired....

well except Matteo, who keeps going and going and going...notice his new pjs courtesy of Auntie and kids.

Yes, there are angels on earth.

and notice our new addition...spotty(?). After much asking (and i mean much) Andrew allowed Matteo the courtesy of taking "spotty" home for a bit. Great just what Mom wanted another dog. Don't worry Andrew we will feed him, walk him and love him daily and return him come Christmas :-)..unless of course you desire him sooner. THANKS FOR SHARING.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving .....



with the healthy addition of Chloe May to our lives and Matteo's continued growth as a toddler, we have more to be thankful for than ever. May your blessings be bountiful as well.
