So much to be Thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today is a day to eat too much food...enjoy many pieces of pumpkin pie...and remember the many things we are thankful for. Joe and I are so thankful for family & friends...love...good health...and of course our little Emma. Everyday is a delight and a joy to have her in our lives. We are sooo blessed to have many people present in our lives to brighten each moment. Even though we can't be with everyone we think of you often and you are never out of our thoughts.
Today we spent the day at Grandpa and Grandma Berry's house. We gobbled up three turkeys...all the sides and yummy desserts. Emma took an awesome 2 1/2 hour nap while the rest of us watched the movie Hairspray.
Is anyone shopping on Black Friday?? I usually awake early to catch as many deals as possible. Much to your amazement...I value sleep a little more these days...I will shop when I shop...if I run into a good deal...great...if not, oh well!! LOL
Have a fun weekend with family and friends. Here are a couple of photos caught from today. :)

Don't bother me Mom...I am reading my books!

Emma was playing in her room after breakfast this morning. I was getting a few things done in my office...able to hear every noise. :) I caught a few photos of Emma reading her books. Who says 17 month olds can't read. LOL It is so awesome to see Emma play and read. I am amazed each day at the discoveries she makes.

Happy Monday!

Today is a day of this and that...catching up on a few household chores and running a few errands. We are very excited that we are going to be spending Thanksgiving with our families. Aunt Kate and Uncle Phil are coming home very soon. Here are a few random photos that I have taken over the last few days. Enjoy! :)

Emma frequently looks out the front door for Grandpa Bud and Grandma Shirley. I was able to catch her looking one day last week. Not a great shot...but, I thought it was cute. :)


Emma loves to pull the pots and pans out of the kitchen cabinet. On Thursday last week I found her sitting in one of the skillets. I title this picture..."What's for dinner Mom?!"


Over the weekend we celebrated Jean's 80th Birthday. On the way out...I was able to catch this shot of Emma and Daddy. Too cute. :)


Yesterday Emma was playing in the basement with her kitchen and other toys while I was folding laundry. On occasion she will help me push the basket from the laundry room to the tv area. So...while I was working she decided to push the basket herself and then take a break. LOL
