Words to Monkey: "Call It A Clan, Call It A Network, Call It A Tribe, Call It A Family. Whatever You Call It, Whoever You Are, You Need One."

To Our Precious, Little Baby Girl...

The hope for this blog is that we get to share with our daughter-to-be, family, and friends what is going on in our lives as we start getting prepared for her BIG DAY and arrival outside of the belly! It'll be a no-holds-barred attempt at our new experiences, challenges, and day-to-day life while our little "bun in the oven" continues to bake. At some point, we hope this will be a loving story for you, little girl, to look back on and hopefully will also be entertaining and educational to read! We love you, little monkey, and are so blessed to have you growing stronger and stronger every day! Love, Mom and Dad

Yummy food! So good to be spending the day at home. So blessed! Happy to have shared our day with family and friends! Even had extra time to watch the movie SHOOTER with Mikee this morning and to set up Peyton's changing table before we ate/people came over.

our latest addition/find: our changing table

so juicy and tender thanks to Nikki's suggestion of brining it this year!

"greens"-a southern tradition

my contribution-sweet potato pie

Long day. Full day. At least around noon my neck stopped hurting! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We are so blessed to count you among our closest friends and family! The only thing I missed this year was being with my family back in Wisconsin...but hopefully the next year will bring an opportunity to spend more time with them and our little girl.

Nikki was still feeling under the weather with a migraine she's had for a few days now...she's debating going to the hospital just so they can give her something so she can rest. A decision about that has not been officially made at this point but I think she's going to stay here awhile longer.

Yay for Thanksgiving food-I think Peyton enjoyed it. Now it's time for MY turkey coma...wish us luck that we will get a call tomorrow saying Tony's motorcycle is fixed (as we were told the parts at least came in yesterday late afternoon).
