YUMMY!!!

Ty had his first spaghetti dinner the other night. He loved it! I don't know that I fed Jake and Lindsey spaghetti at 9 mo. I think that is the "benefit" of being the 3rd child. Just ignore the pink bib. We grab what's in the drawer. Lindsey has been known to wear boys undies. It works!

We had a great Thanksgiving with the DeJong's filled with a wonderful turkey dinner followed up by a couple games of bowling. Jake and Lindsey both scored over 100! Thanks to bumpers and a handy ramp to get the ball down the lane! Mom and Dad didn't fare so good.

As I reflected back over this past year we have so much to be thankful for. One year ago we were anxious to meet our little baby and now he is crawling and pulling himself up getting into everything! Last year we were struggling with where to send Jake to school. We made a decision and have been blessed with wonderful Christian teachers. He has made so much progress in the past 3 months. A year ago Lindsey was hardly saying 'mom or dad'. Now she is talking in full sentences and we can even understand her! Her speech has improved tremendously since we enrolled her in school. She is also blessed with a wonderful Christian speech therapist that loves working with her. Ted has had a good year with his job. He has had steady work coming in while many others have been struggling. We are blessed and we thank God for his hand in our lives.
