Catching Up

Thanksgiving was good, but also sad. It was the first Thanksgiving without my mother. It was good to be with family, but a few times I sat there and I could envision her sitting at the table making an offer to help my Aunt Joan ( when I was little I called her Uncle Joanie) or laughing at my Uncle Tim and Uncle Steve as they go about their normal insane chatter. I honestly don't know how I hold myself together at times like those, but I do.

My family eats early and Micole's eats late so we can attend both. It works out very well for the both of us. Two good Thanksgiving meals. Nothing to complain about there.

The babysitter taught Cooper this "bah bah bah" thing. We were at a restaurant on Monday and he wouldn't stop doing it. He was doing it very loudly. I wish I had some footage of that evening, because it was gut-busting hilarious.

He's getting all over the house. I have to be sure to close all the doors so he'll stay in the living room with us.

Asleep today during the Bengals game. I think the Bengals fell asleep about halfway through the 3rd quarter. They were up soundly 34-0 and wound up winning 42-29. For a little while it looked like they might just blow it.

Watching the 1st season of Lost on DVD this evening. I've watched 2/3rds of the 1st season just since yesterday. I've picked up on a few things, but I'm still pretty much lost with where everything is going. The whole series is just one big soap opera with a thousand cliffhangers.

Bah bah bah :-D
Watch those stairs! Nicholas scooted up a few on me when I thugh he was playing in the other room...sneaky little boys.
I know how you feel about Thanksgiving...I'd do anything to have my Mothers parents here...or to have been able to tell them I was pregnant before they died. Christmas is especially hard on me, but there are days when I think about them and it feels like it was yesterday. But you know they all know what's going on and are watching over everyone.

I wish my dad coulda met my kids. It's totally weird but it's been 7 years and I don't even think about him much on busy holidays. I'm sure my grandparents do. I bet my mom does too.

Nathan scooted up three stairs yesterday and I realize I'm going to have to keep a close eye on him around stairs.
