So as you can see I am a bit behind on the blog and the truth is that this won't be a great, well thought out blog. I do have a good excuse…life. Sometimes life gets in the way of us getting things done including documenting the memories. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hockey Games, Dance Practice, being sick, working, playing, sleeping, school performances, and much more have kept me from my upstairs office computer, my blogging place, but I am here know and am going to try and document the last two months. If nothing else there are some great photos. And do know that as good as the photos are, the memories are better!
This was the second year that Scott and I hosted Friendsgiving. Liesel helped me make a Thompson tradition, butter flowers.
My life would be a much sadder place without these girls
Liesel and Winston
Mommy and Maddox at Grammy and Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving. This kid gives the best hugs. One fun Maddox Tidbit. He has started to say, "I love you to Heaven and back". He has started speech therapy to work on his "t's", "d's", and "l's". I know it is time but I will miss his little Maddox language. He also started to mumble "I love you Santa" under his breath randomly so that Santa would still bring presents.
