Thanksgiving

Well, we went to Kansas City for Thanksgiving and had a fantastic time! I did really good for the first couple of days, eating only what I was supposed to. But then, Thanksgiving came, we had Prime Rib...I still drool thinking about it. Oh and we had pie. My sister-in-law, Karen, made a fantastic pecan pie...it was SO GOOD! I made Chocolate Pumpkin Pie from Vive Le Vegan. It had a cheesecake consistency, it was just fantastic!
Here are a few pictures of our trip. Mostly they are the day after Thanksgiving breakfast :)

In Memoriam

Today I found out that my dear friend, Kerri, lost her son, Orion on November 19. He was 10 days old and leaves a twin brother and his Mom and Dad. My heart is aching. I hurt for her. Please, hold them in your hearts whenever you think of them. This is such a terrible tragedy, I know all too well.

Baby Love

Can you feel it in the air? 3 new souls came into the world this week! First was my new niece, Carlie Emma. She was born on November 8, weighing in at 7 lbs. 3 oz. She is nursing like a champ and I can't wait to see her!!!!
Next up were the twin boys of one of my dear friends, Kerri. Golden and Orion were born on November 9th, weighing in at 5 lbs. 10 oz. and 6 lbs. 3 oz. I don't know which one weighed what. When Kerri called me last night, I suspect that they had just very recently been born. She had a beautiful natural birth and was wiped out ;)

They are both birthing goddesses and I am so proud of them both. Can you feel the love? Can you feel the baby love? Congratulations to both of my dear friends, I am so proud of both of you!

It's a Good Day

Today I have a new niece. I don't know her name yet, but do know she was born today around noon, cst. She weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. and is 19.5 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great. I wish I were there with them. Welcome to the world new little one!
