Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your day! We did not travel far and had Thanksgiving at Drew and Will's Grampa Bill's and Debi's house. We are thankful we did not travel far because so far Will dislikes riding in the car! At times it has taken us 3 hours to drive from Portland when it should have taken 1.5 hours and then try a 1 hour trip back from Rockland, normally a 25 minute trip...the reason for the lengthy trips??? Will has this ear piercing scream that continues until we stop the car (unless of course he falls asleep). We tried everything when we made our stops to soothe him - nursing, changing the diaper, swinging the car seat - nothing seemed to work. So when the crying starts we drive for a bit, stop, start up again and on and on. I usually end up squashed in the back between Drew and Will while I try to comfort Will... Any suggestions? I have not heard of a baby that does not sleep when he rides! I am sure this won't last forever?!?!?!

Anyway, there were 12 of us at our Thanksgiving Dinner and we had a great time! We were missing a lot of people today - you were all in our thoughts :) Drew and Will's Great Grammie Black and Aunt Sam traveled to NM and are still there - we will be thinking of them as they travel back this Tuesday! Drew said he is thankful for his family - how sweet! And Will...I think he is just thankful for everything - he is an absolute doll!

Will is 2 months old!

Will is now 2 months old and doing "terrific" his pediatrician said. Of course we already knew that though :) He is in the 75th % for both height and weight. He weighs 12 lbs 11 oz and is 23 1/2 inches tall. Looking back at Drew's baby book @ 2 months...he is 1 lb and 1 inch under Drew. But, he looks like Drew's twin in most of the baby pictures! It will be interesting to see if it stays that way or if Will will get his own look! Will also has his 2 bottom teeth coming in! Drew held Will's hand today while Will got 5 immunizations, Drew is so sweet with him. He loves to read to him and he plays so gentle with him. Will seems to really lite up when Drew engages with him. Will continues to be such an easy going baby - still enjoys sleeping @ the right times, eating, cuddling, more playtime and loves to watch us! Yes, he does cry and gets upset - but mostly is just a happy lovable babe! Well both kiddos are sleeping so I am going to go to bed myself - goodnight!

Finally...some video!!!

Hey there! We have been having fun with our new little camera! Here are Drew and Will's latest...soooooo much fun and soooooo cute :)

happy halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Drew was very excited about trick or treating! He also enjoyed passing out candy @ the house. This was his first year as a super hero. The past 5 Halloween's he has been a pea in the pod, a lion, bob the builder, an excavator and a doctor. I think Kindergarten has influenced him this year, all the little 5 year olds wanted to be a super hero!! But, he did look cute...:) Will of course did not know what was going on and as you can see from the picture, he really did not get to excited about his costume! But, of course we brought him along! He was a little pea n the pod just like Drew's first Halloween! He came out trick or treating with us in his stroller, but it was a bit to chilly for him at 45 degrees so dad brought him back shortly after. Of course Drew seemed to have the most fun, but Halloween can usually bring out the kid in everyone! It was a fun week! Enjoy the pictures!
