Thankful for family & playtime!

We went North for Thanksgiving this year to Grandma & Grandpa Kluver's house. We had a long ride up with a very packed car (we took some furniture up for our niece). William had a great time with his cousins and aunts & uncles.

He especially loved playing in Grandma's chairs. We would put him in his walker to keep him "out of trouble" and he still found a way to play. He would grab the chairs, and tip them over to him and chew on them (still teething) or grab them and move them out into the middle of the room.









It was also his cousin Christi's birthday and I volunteered to make her a cake. It was really fun to be able to bake something (and share it) while on vacation. Christi requested something gooey, with whipped cream. That... I can do! :-) The Chocolate-Carmel-Gooey-Cake was a hit with everyone.










On Saturday Cindy (Dave's sister from Chicago), Dave, WD and I went to visit Dave's Great-Aunt Edna. She is a great lady, but is really down right now, battling an infection that must get cleared-up before they can proceed with gallbladder surgery. Aunt Edna was not her usual jovial self when we saw her. You could tell she was tired and not feeling well. Hopefully they can get that infection cleared up ASAP and get her in for the surgery. She was told it could be 2 weeks to 2 months before she can have the surgery! Please say a little prayer for her.









After a very nice weekend with everyone we drove back home in snow and crummy weather. We are still working on getting WD back on his sleep schedule. Last night (Tuesday night) was the first night he slept through the night AND didn't get up at 5am (he pulled those tricks every night at Grandma & Grandpa's).


WD took some time to check out the local papers when we got home. He had a blast playing in them and loved the noise they made when he crinkled them. What a cute little ham!
