October Photo Fest - it's about time!

Sunday Segments

I haven't had much time recently to write, so here are some notes on what is going on in our world:

• We enjoyed a HUGE Thanksgiving meal as we do every year at Justin's Aunt Sandra and Uncle Joel's house. A house full of Turner's and an overflowing room full of food, including fried turkey, more casseroles than you can imagine, rolls and desserts and much more. Needless to say, you need the stretchy pants for this one.
• Then we had another Thanksgiving feast at my parents house and talked about what we were thankful for. Topping everyone's list is the newest addition to the family. Larsson has changed all of our lives for the better and given us so much for which to be thankful.
• I can't believe we are in the holiday season. We started our shopping on Black Friday and scouted out a few good deals.
• I love the Christmas holidays. When Justin and I first got married, I told him Christmas was going to "throw up" in our house every year. I bought trees of all shapes, sizes and colors, and endeavored to create a Christmas wonderland in every room. It was a lot of work but always worth the effort. Unfortunately, our decorations will be minimal this year, as we are still showing our house.... and because keeping the little man out of the decor may be more than we can handle. He is always BUSY.
• Our house is still for sale, although we have not made any headway on where we will live if it sells. But on the up side, we have been making a lot of improvements - a new roof, a fresh coat of paint on the outside, and lots of little changes on the inside. It is looking good, but there is always more to do.

We have another house showing tomorrow, so I will sign off for now and promise to be more consistent in my posting going forward.

Giving Thanks

What I am thankful for on my first Thanksgiving:

• Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends who play with me and try to keep up with my boundless energy.
• A treasure trove of toys and books. My favorites are things that roll, like my wagon that holds my mega-blocks, and my truck. But even with all my great toys, I sometimes find inane things just as fun - a paper towel roll, pots and pans. Now if I could only get my hands on all those things that mama and dada keep putting out of my reach.
• Bananas and my new favorite Gerber yogurt melts (Dada calls them fairy turds) that I can feed myself.
• The sweetest laugh and smile that warms my mama and dada's hearts and lets me get away with.... everything.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for letting us celebrate with you at your birthday party this weekend. We enjoyed it. Hope you are having lots of fun with all your new toys. And Larsson appreciated you letting him play with your balloon.
