Family Update...

For those of you who faithfully follow my blog, my sincerest apologies for being so missing in action this month. Since my husbands amputation in late October I've been really bogged down with responsibilities here at home. I'm so happy to share that he is progressing very well, and looking forward to the day when he can lay his crutches aside and begin to walk on a new leg. He was hoping by Christmas, but that remains to be seen. His spirits are high, this attitude is fabulous, and he's so grateful to be out of the pain he was formerly experiencing.

I haven't been totally away from my crafting table though. I'm deep in the throws of creating a very labor intensive project for the now passed Magnolia-licious blog hop! I knew I would not be able to craft this month and Diana very graciously gave me the month off to tend to hearth and home...ummm....no more hearth!!

Today we went to the twins Parent's Day Out little Thanksgiving feast and program. Their class were Indians and the older class were Pilgrims. Totally adorable. Here are a few pictures of them. Jordan's class didn't have a Thanksgiving anything, so no pictures of him...let's hope at Christmas time....

Here ya go!

They started out with a wonderfully prepared Ham and Turkey Dinner...here is Brielle enjoying her roll. She surprised us both by NOT eating her veggies, which she simply lives on! This was the only part of the meal she ate...

Josslyn picked and poked away, but in the end ate nothing...of maybe a bite or two of Turkey...

Sometimes they pose well for the camera! Here they are and if you look you can see that the ladies at school took the time to braid their hair and even used pink bands on Brielle and green on Josslyn. Brielle on your left and Josslyn on the right...

Their costumes were made out of pillow cases. They really put a lot of work into them and even beaded the bottoms. The necklines were cut a little bit too large and they had a hard time keeping them on. Brielle is on the left and Josslyn on the right...

This is Miss Ginger! She is an absolute gem! The girls really adore her and she adores them. This is such a fabulous Parent's Day Out program I couldn't be happier. This time Joss is on the left and Brie on the right! What a pair!!!

Here they are on the way home. We installed a DVD player for them and got them headphones so we don't have to listen to it! Smart, huh??? Joss on the left and Brie on the right. They have been in this order almost everywhere we put them since they were infants. They get upset if you put them in each others "spots".





Happy Thanks Giving to everyone, we have so much to be thankful for!

Blessings,
Barb
