Thanksgiving

We had a really fun and really busy Thanksgiving week.
We started the week off by meeting Gigi and Jabo so that Will could go back to their house for a couple of days by himself before we traveled there on Wednesday. He was thrilled to say the least and I know that he had the BEST time with Gigi, Jabo, and Patrick. What a special treat for a little boy! And what a wonderful break for us here! I got to spend some time cleaning the house as well as spend some one on one time with baby Andrew! I, of course, missed my Will more than you can imagine and could not wait to see him on Wednesday. I think he was pretty happy to see us too. He did not leave Dan's or my side the entire day! :) We then spent the rest of the holidays with family and eating and eating!! It was so great to see everyone and especially getting to spend some time with Dan's cousin, Jason, who will be leaving for Iraq soon.
We returned home on Friday to get ready for the Egg Bowl. My parents and the Kirks came to stay with us for the weekend. We had a great time tailgating one last time this year and really enjoyed the game! GO DAWGS!!!
And because it is Thanksgiving, I just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for our amazing family. Dan and I are truly blessed to have this wonderful support system around us. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child and we feel like our village makes us better people and better parents. We are very thankful for all of you and we love you sooo much!
