We are Thankful!

 This year, we hosted Thanksgiving at our house.  It worked out perfectly with the boys' schedules and the food and company were all great.  Conner and Jason smoked their turkey they got last spring for Thanksgiving.  They were both very proud of themselves to say the least!

We have so much to be thankful for this year! One of the things that we are most thankful for is MawMaw Jacque.  On August 14th, with less than 12 hours notice, she rearranged her entire life (her jobs, her retreats, her plans, everything)  to come and watch the boys during the work day so that Jason and I did not have to worry about our boys or our jobs.  Wow, right? She travels from Indy to Coatesville at least three days a week.  We are so thankful!  Not only has it been a blessing but it has also been great for the boys.  They L-O-V-E her.  The only drawback...well I often hear things like this, "Mommy, can I have a pixi-stick for lunch?"  "Absolutely not, Conner!"  "MawMaw lets me have them for lunch" (with a little smirk as he walks away!)  HA!  Or my favorite; "Mommy, quit being a boob"  Hmm.....  We love you MawMaw and we are so, so, so thankful for all you (and PawPaw) do for our family!
 Drew is LOVING "big people" food.  For Thanksgiving he had mashed potatoes, corn casserole and chicken noodles.  Let's just say that the next day he wanted nothing to do with his jarred green beans and bananas!

Conner's favorite game/toy/thing to do is riding his four-wheeler.  He wants to learn how to "pop a wheelie" "all by myself"  Here is Jason's attempt at teaching him...the picture is blurry because my eyes were closed.



 Here are pictures of the boys at the exact same age.  Do you think they look alike?  I think the only difference is that Conner had no hair and Drew has tons of crazy hair!!!
We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We are thankful that you are in our lives!
