So Thankful for my family

Wow, long time no post... So we are back to our regular life again (feels so good!), which is busy, and suddenly it is soon time for Christmas, just a short break for Thanksgiving first. One of our coops finished last week and the other one has one more week left, next week, before Christmas break. 

Noah has made some impressive improvements being more independent. He still wants to be with me while at the coops but I can leave him in the classroom with others for a while without any problems and he is more engaged in the activities without me needing to sit next to him. I am so happy to see this!! On Thursdays he has been over at a friend's house while Marlee has coop and he has done great! She has a daughter his age and they play good together when Marlee is not there. He has a tendency to take over when he is with them. I believe it is good for Noah to have some time without Marlee since they are always together.

Noah at the Friday coop. He is doing so good! Showing such patience when coloring and doing school work.

We have sent four boxes with toys with an organization and they will go to four children somewhere in the world. It will be possible to track the boxes to see where they go and the boys sent a letter in each box writing about themselves. So exciting!!

The last day before Christmas with our Friday coop. Pajamas Friday :-) Thanksgiving craft activity.

It is exhausting for little ones to be at coop. Gabriel always nap in the stroller in the afternoon.

And this little guy naps, too. Had to be in the car seat this time :-)

Relaxing with pappa watching TV :-)

Just being sweet

I took the boys to the beach the other day to try to take a Christmas picture. I am not sure we will use any of the pictures, thought. It was impossible to get a picture where they all look at the camera and look normal!

Probably the best picture I got...

Probably not the best picture I got...

I still have the most adorable objects to take pictures of :-)

We have talked about harvesting our sweet potatoes for a while, and now we finally did!! So yummy!!

Simply being a cutie!

 November 23 this little booger turned two months!!!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving!! We were lucky to have Aunt Jackie staying here with her grandson Nick and his two sons. The boys had a blast with his third cousins!! We all had a great dinner at farmor's and farfar's house with delicious food and good company! Aunt Peggy build a ginger bread house with the kids, which has become kind of a tradition now. They had so much fun with her!

Concentrated!

The weather now is absolutely gorgeous and I hope to be outside a little more now.

We have had some trouble with the chickens lately because they escape. However, Jackie helped us to cut their wings so hopefully they will stay in our back yard now!
