Well it's happening!

The Thanksgiving rush is upon us! I am making two, not one but two maple pumpkin cheesecakes today because I have decided that I do have time and it's really not that hard to do one more really. I am sharing the extra one with the neighbors, just a piece for each of our closest neighbors. And then I am taking the other one to M's parents and then the other half of that to my parents. You ask why I am only sharing half with each family? Because each year that I have done this, we come back home with a full cheesecake. We don't' need that especially this year when M and I are both here at the house more often than not!

Other than that we have secured an Elmo Couch for J, I was very happy to find a clean looking one at Toys-R-Us, instead of what I had been subjected to looking at for the past 6 weeks. Fear made me buy it! Seriously, I bought it early because I didn't want to go to TRU the day after Thanksgiving and try to get it and I was afraid they would be gone. So my nervousness is now gone!

I really need to post some pictures of him. So here you go.

Lots of Misc thoughts....

Okay I have decided that I really don't like the blogging idea and I am thinking of shutting it down. Maybe my goal should be to only do 1 post a month. I think that's attainable don't you? Yes, that's what I will do.

As we near the holidays, J is becoming so much more fun! I just want to get him everything in the world so that he can enjoy it and because he enjoys it, and now I see why kids have so many toys and things in general! I said I would not be like that when I was a parent and look at me now! I still have a handle on things but it's slowly slipping out of my grasp! :) It gets worse as he gets older! It wasn't as hard last year but we have reached a turning point this year.

Lots of uncertainty with M and Ford... but we are trusting that it's all in the Lord's hands and when the decisions are made, if they affect us directly then we will cross that bridge when we come to it. We have no more control now than we have ever had over the decisions made there, so we'll see how this pans out.

Had a great night at Bunko last night and was sitting at a table with Jane who brought up fond memories of our soul group, way back when... before we all had kids and were committed to coming to get together because we liked each other. WE both agree that we missed our soul group and missed the members of our soul group. Where are those simpler times? :)
