Moving on........

Well, just moments ago, Wesley's crib is out of this house, the bedding back in original packages, and the diaper genie in the garage. We've rearranged his room and while he only has a toddler bed for now, and we're still using the changing table for toy storage, it definitely looks different. Wesley took part in dismantling the crib and even after there was no sign of it left, he walked in his room, sat on his t-bed and said, "Hey, where's my crib???" :) We had a feeling he would eventually catch on.

Yes, many of you might remember my post in August about putting the toddler bed up and you probably assumed the crib was long gone. Well, it wasn't. Wesley much preferred the crib, and well, we just didn't care, so we let the whole thing slide. But today was the day to finally say goodbye. And that crib has been used for 10 years straight, so it really is GONE. It had no ummf left in it, so it's days of slumbering with my children are over.

It felt good to take everything down. I'll admit it. And that's all I'm going to say about it for now. :)

What a great Thanksgiving!

We just said goodbye to the last 2 of our 7 guests here for Thanksgiving. Bri's family came in town for a week and there were 11 of us stuffed into our house. Phew! But it turned out so awesome. I couldn't be more pleased with how things went, the weather, the food, the kids' behavior, etc. God was with all of us and we were all able to really enjoy eachother's company. What a gift. I have not hosted a holiday since Noah was 1. And before that, I never did. So this was only my second time to host a holiday. I loved it! I am always blessed by everyone else's hospitality so it felt good to give back. Now if I could only get my whole family to come up! (13 might be a little over the top) :) Here are a few pics of our time together. I'll post more once I get them from my SIL. I hope you all had a great turkey day and felt a new level of thankfulness this year!
