A Month In Review

Wow! I don't know where the last month has gone, and yet so much has happened!! Reece celebrated his first birthday on October 30th and I celelbrated my 30th birthday on November 14th! It was such a fun time for our family!

We took the kiddos to Disneyland on Reece's birthday and had so much fun! He isn't the thrill-seeker that his big sister Kenley is, but he still enjoyed it. The park was pretty empty and we were able to go on lots of rides. Jason and I even took Kenley on the Matterhorn with us! She seemed really excited about going on a rollercoaster and seeing the abominable snowman until she actually did. The rest of the day she kept saying, "His eyes were really red and scary!" I'm pretty sure we failed a critical parenting test that day. It sure was fun though!

The entire day I kept thinking about one year ago when we went to the hospital early in the morning for my c-section. We couldn't wait to meet Reece! He gave us a little scare the first few days with his lungs, but I was so happy to finally hold my son! He has proved to be such a wonderful addition to our family (like I had any doubts). It has been so fun to watch him transform from sleepy newborn to happy infant and now into a troublesome toddler! He is nothing like his sister and every day proves to be a completely different adventure in parenting, but I love him so much more than I can express!

Anyway...Thanksgiving is now only two days away and soon I will be digging my way through the garage in search of decorations and lights. 2008 was just getting good and now it's almost over! Well I have a weekend of turkey and family fun ahead of me so there is still time to enjoy it!
