Thanksgivings

It's the holidays!  I can't believe it's already this time of the year!  The time is flying by.

Kirk had to work on Thanksgiving, so the kids and I went to my parent's house.  It was a fantastic day.  We had a great time with my fam.  Lincoln, Easton and Quin were hanging out pre-dinner at the kids table.  They ate with us, but it's so nice to have the table for them to sit around and color, draw, or do whatever.

Lincoln enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner.  But, he really enjoyed the mashed potatoes.  My grandpa gave him some gravy (I was certain he wouldn't eat it) and he gobbled it up!  He wouldn't eat turkey (of course) but he enjoyed the carbs.  Shocker.

Isadora enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner from her bouncy seat.

I love seeing my nieces and nephews!  They are the cutest!

My Quinners is growing up!  Sniff, sniff.  She is as cute as ever, though!

Ellery:

Gianna: (Sorry...she was having a shy day)

Easton:

Love this picture of my dad giving Isa a kiss.  So sweet.

Since the weather was so nice, we were able to go outside.  I took a lot of pictures with Joelee's camera...they are long gone never to be seen again!

A couple days after Thanksgiving, we went to Kirk's parent's house to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family.

We had another great meal with family.  I could eat turkey dinner once a week, but that's just me!  I was happy to enjoy a second Thanksgiving dinner!

Kirk's niece, Lexi, is getting so big!  She's such a sweetie.  I'm pretty sure she was returning this hug, even though it pretty much looks like Lincoln was squeezing the life out of poor Lexi!

Lexi also had to give hugs and kisses to Isa.

 After dinner there was a group photo shoot of all the grandchildren.  None turned out fantastic (at least on our camera) but I'm happy there was at least one picture of them altogether.

L to R: Noah is holding Isadora, Gavin, Olivia is holding Lincoln, Sophia is holding Lexi.

A day with Kirk's family isn't complete without Uncle Drew tossing him in the air!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Friends in High Places

It is no secret Lincoln has a love of airplanes. Seeing an airplane from a distance whether it is in the air or on the ground is always exciting for him.  On a daily basis, we go looking for airplanes and choppers.  There's a small little airport near our house.  We see airplanes fly overhead a lot, but we rarely see them on taking off.

Lincoln was in for a treat when our longtime family friend, DJ, invited us to visit him at the Pontiac Airport where he flies out of.  DJ has been working at the airport for about 5 years now, and we've wanted to take Lincoln there for awhile now so he could see the planes up close and personal.

DJ showed us around the hangar and the planes he flies.  DJ flies freight, a private plane and even organs sometimes.

You probably can't see it, but Kirk and DJ are sitting in the cockpit.  Speaking of Kirk: I think Kirk had just as much, if not more fun, than Lincoln.  Lincoln was a little scared of the planes, but Kirk was in heaven.  He loved it!

After some coaxing, we were able to get Lincoln to go into the planes.  The plane is open in the back to store the cargo.  DJ brought Lincoln to the back of the plane and he ran around.

We are hoping to go back again, maybe in the spring, when Lincoln is a little older and won't be as hesitant to do explore the planes some more.

We can't thank DJ enough. So cool!

2 Month Stats

Last week we took Isa to her 2 month well child appointment. I cannot believe how fas she is growing!  It seems to be going much faster with her than it did with Lincoln. Not sure why that is.

Anyway, Isa is growing like crazy!  She's nearly the same weight as Lincoln was at her age, just about an inch shorter. I love it because she has the best rolls!  Only now can fat rolls be cute. I cannot get enough of her chubby little thighs!

Stats:
Length: 22 3/4 inches (56%)
Weight:  11 pounds 14 ounces (69%)
Head: 38.6 cm (39%)

We go back in February for her 4 month appointment. Can't wait to find out if her growing levels off a bit by then.

I was taking some pictures of her the other day trying to decide what to do for our Christmas card, when the little stinker rolled over!  Couldn't believe it!
