So Much To Be Grateful For!

Well, I'm late! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We are so grateful for you, our family and friends.

We went to the home of Sam, Raelynn and Kate in our ward. It was fun to be with them and several other families. Everyone worked so hard to make it wonderful. Thanks to all of you!

Skype is amazing; we got to visit with family that way. We had Mona and Eliza playing and crawling around in front of the laptop on the floor. Oh, and it's official - Mona can sit independently now! Once she's up she has no problem staying there.

This photo is a little old, but here the girls are with a little turkey. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Tom, Jen, Eliza and Ramona

The Decline of Fall

Now that fall is almost over I had better post those photos that I meant to do a few weeks ago. Ramona is rolling across the room and sitting up almost completely on her own. Here's a page about her learning to sit. When I scrapped this page she was still falling every time I sat her up. Now she's sitting on her own for a while and when she falls it's usually intentional, to be able to reach or roll to something.

We love the fall in Virginia; it's just starting to get cold here now. We went to the Fall Festival at Cox Farms last month with other law students' families and ever since then Eliza asks if she can go to the farm to see the cows. As soon as it was in sight Eliza was squealing and giggling with excitement. She loved being with the other kids, fearlessly sliding down slides and climbing up hills to get to them. She played in the hay and with the goats. Mona cried during the entire hay ride, but Eliza loved it. We had apples (Eliza's first whole apple) and cider. Of course, we took photos! We had so much fun there, it will have to be a new tradition. (It was in the mid 80's that day!)

We'll be back soon with a post for Thanksgiving! :)
