Happy Thanksgiving

I love this holiday because you have great food and don't have to buy presents for everyone! This year we were in Indiana for Thanksgiving so we joined my mom's family at my Aunt Patty's house. There are so many things for us to be thankful for, mainly our health, our friends and our family. Since I have a super large family I'll spare you the over indulgence of photos and just give you a little taste of what I am so lucky to have in my life.

First there's my mom

. I love her so much and am so thankful for the love she shows not only me but my children as well. Her entire family is lucky to have her. She gives so freely and unselfishly and only gets 1/5 of her kindness returned. She really is the best mom.

Then there are her sisters. A second mom and a best friend to me. These are children numbers 2, 7 and 9 to my grandparents...so really Patty was like a second mom to many.

And then there are my boys. A girl can only get so lucky to have kids like these. Not only cute, but smart, funny, healthy and happy. What more could a mother want or ask for?

Oh yeah! A super awesome husband that loves her and their kids and shows if freely and openly every single day.

Eye Candy

Yum!

Mona Jack

Sometimes you capture an image by accident that just speaks to you. I'm not sure what this one is saying exactly, but there's something about it I just love. I think it's got a Mona Lisa appeal to it. Perhaps I should call it Mona Jack.

Another Day at the Museum

So by now everyone should know that we are regulars at the Children's Museum. It's only the world's largest and best so why not take advantage of the family pass we have? Jack never seems to tire of it and it's a great way to burn off some energy, so here are a few more pictures from yet another day at the Museum. And if you're ever in Indy...look me up...we'll take you to the Museum too!

Yep...he still loves trains...

And now he's able to do the hand car himself!

The first time he's ever participated in the song and dance!
