My sister and I ended up using the same snowman applique on Christmas outfits so they all wore them to church this morning:
The kids had a ton of fun playing outside all weekend. We were so thankful for the beautiful weather. They all played so well together. Emily asked if they could just stay here. She is going to be so bored tomorrow when it's back to just me, Emily, and Abigail during the day.
PawPaw joined in on the fun when they all kept making special plates of food for everyone:
We also worked on "paci boot camp" this weekend while my sister was here. Abigail won't take a pacifier and so at times she is so fussy because she doesn't know how to soothe herself. We are still hoping she takes one . . . but who knows. We tricked her a couple of times this weekend but no real luck so far.
Abigail did get a lot of time being held. She did enjoy that:
We joked with my brother Robert that Abigail enjoyed staring at him so much because he reminder her of Jesus with his hair and beard. We kept saying, "hey I remember seeing you a few months back":
And since my brother in law Nathan always enjoys a good nap he took his chance with Abigail while she snoozed on his shoulder:
We actually celebrated Thanksgiving Friday night since my sister had to work on Thursday and Joe had to work on Friday and Saturday:
On Saturday, Nathan installed our kitchen sink for us. Yea! All our projects that we wanted done initially on the house are now done:
Here is our beautiful new sink!!!!! Thanks Nathan!!!
Abigail was 6 weeks old on Friday and she also FINALLY lost her umbilical cord. I didn't think it would ever come off. So she enjoyed her first real bath this weekend. She has been really fussy in the evenings the last week or so. We are trying to figure out if that is just what she wants to do at night or if something is wrong . . . you sure do a lot of guessing when you have a newborn in the house. My sister brought a baby sling that fits me better so she stayed in it for a while this weekend since she wants to be held alot at night.
We had a GREAT time! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving also.

Looks like you guys had a GREAT time! I remember the days of Riley crying (screaming, rather) for hours every night. Horrible! You can always do what Amy resorted to when she needed Charlie to take his paci...dip it in Dr. Pepper. :) Really though, she usually just put a small drop of gas drops on it and he latched on.
WOW! I can't believe how big Michelle's kids are! Too cute. Looks like you guys had lots of fun! You know I loved that Amelia loved her paci, but she was not an easy one to get it away from!! We finally were down to one and we 'left it with the princesses' at Disney. The sad thing is, she still asks about it!! :(
