Thanksgiving family pix


Thougth I would post this family pix from Thanksgiving

Snowflakes and smiles...







Wednesday it snowed. It is only the second time since I moved to Houston. I think it is the 3rd time since 1986!! Jordana knew what the snow was and Randy let her play a bit. He gave her a snowball...it didn't last too long!! By morning most of the snow was gone but it was still chilly!!

Randy snapped the pix of Kara in the morning before school. Kara likes to have her face touched and it sends her to all smiles!!!

Catch up...


So things have been crazy..but they are finally getting better. Kara has turned a corner with her fussiness. Saturday my poor parents and sister baby sat while we went to a baby shower. Kara cried for almost 3 hours. Poor thing was exhausted. Sunday night she had her bottle at 7pm and then a bath. I wrapped her up in 2 blankets and cuddled on the couch for a bit. She fell asleep by 8:30 and slept until 3am. (I didn't). Then she ate and slept until 7am. Wow!! Monday she started school (daycare) and did well. Everyone is amazed at how small she is! Monday and Tues when I picked her up, she was asleep in her crib. There are still moments of fussiness but they are starting to fade. I sneak a bit of gripe water into her early evening bottle and it seems to help. She is off prune juice because she is pooping almost every day now.
Saturday we took the kids for pictures. Jordana was a turd. It took 10 minutes to get her to stop crying. After we wiped the tears and boogers away, the photographer went nuts trying to get her to smile. She did a good job, bless her heart! I have posted one family pix but the rest are secret because of the holiday cards and gifts!
Thanksgiving was fun, Jordana ate really well, which surprised the heck out of us!! We went to my moms and ate there with her british friends. They have been here 8 years and it was their first Thanksgiving!!!
I go back to work on Monday...boo hoo...just in time for the holiday craziness. I am so not looking forward to it. I am ready to go back to work but not ready for 600 a day. My supervisor is out on maternity leave so I have to one to bitch to!!!
