Well here we are in the middle of two of the best holidays on the calendar!
Here is Wesley taking a look at big brother Charlie.
And here Charlie is looking quite cute, as usual!
Wesley's first Thanksgiving!
He slept through most of it! I think this was the first year I didn't get a nap after the turkey. Unless you call a 10 minute broken snooze while feeding Wesley, a nap!

Now for my rant about our Christmas card this year!
I spent so much time that I didn't have making a card and gifts that turned out to be four times as expensive as they should have been. I'm not looking to get something for free, but gee whiz if you say something is 19 cents by golly it should be 19 cents and if you say premium fleece blankets are $20 then by all means, they should be $20!!! So I went with Shutterfly instead! I found this card and thought it was really cute and hey, I got free shipping- so I feel like I got a deal, even though they were 44 cents each, not like the 19 cents I originally planned on spending. But oh well, it's only Christmas once a year! Jeff and I have been so tired. He has a much harder time coping with the lack of sleep he gets. I try to take it all in stride. Kids are not puppies. You have kids, you have responsibility, even when you're tired. They cry. The pee on you. They don't sleep when you need them to. It's a job! But you have to find some happy lying around the house because one day it will all be gone, and you'll look back and say, "when did I ever enjoy my family?" I dunno, maybe I'm just a glass is always half full kinda person. But I just don't see the sense it belly aching about things that are supposed to be blessings. There's no joy in that! Well, Wesley is going to need to eat really soon. Hopefully I can get him to take a bottle. He only seems to want to nurse all of a sudden. Which is a bad deal for all those bags a breast milk in my freezer! And besides, I really do need to get some rest...tomorrow will be here soon and there's a tree that needs to be put up! I can't wait to get to do that with Jeff and watch Charlie's eyes light up! I hope he doesn't want to pull all the ornaments off the tree...But if he does, that will at least give me something to blog about!

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving and get to spend some wonderful time with your family!! And I hope we get some much needed sleep! I'm looking forward to not going anywhere or doing a thing for a whole month!!
