Good Tidings

So many parents have told me that the first Christmas with a new baby is like nothing you will ever experience. Of course, they were correct. Michael participated in Christmas Eve with the Grandpa's side of the family, Christmas morning with Grandpa & Grandpa Rowan, and Christmas night with Grandma's side of the family. It was non stop presents, food, laughter, and conversation.

Michael got to be part of the Christmas Pickle tradition with his great Aunt Kathy. He searched all the house to find that darn pickle! (With a little help from mom and dad.)

Michael got so many new toys, books and games. Santa knew what a good boy Michael had been this year. From sleeping through the night at 3 months, virtually never getting sick, and making his parents two of the happiest people in the world, there was no way Santa would leave him coal!

Cherrios

We are now embarking on facilitating our little one to begin to eat on his own. Milk soaked cheerios are first on the menu. I guess we will keep trying....??

Enjoy - I always do.

Gobble! Gobble!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. When else do you have an excuse to gorge yourself and not feel guilty, well maybe during pregnancy. But pregnancy doesn't happen every year, well I guess if you are Michele Dugger...ANYWAY.... The point is, that this is a great holiday, with great food, great people and of course a time where we can reflect on what we are thankful for. This year I am truly thankful for my little buster. Our family attended three thanksgivings this year, one with the McDowell/Rowan group, one with the Rowan/Baran/Klien group, and one with the Gorrie clan. Amongst the wine, food, lively conversation, and football it was apparent that everyone was feeling grateful for what they have.

Michael was able to share this holiday with his entire family, he even had a seat at the table!
