Hello Everyone I hope you all had a great thanksgiving, Ours was quite but nice. Katie and I made daddy dinner jimmy was watching. 
later that night The kids and I met a few co-workers at a friends house for turkey dinner. it was nice and relaxing. We watched the polar express then headed home to spend time with James Before he headed to the next job. Around 9pm I put the kids to bed and decided to have a few minutes to myslef before heading to bed.
Today at the Bank was terriably slow. I had only done 10 transactions in 5 hours. around 1:30pm I got a phone call from Kids world leting me know Jimmy had a temprature of 102.4. I was consurned cause he had that bronchialbronchitas three weeks ago and I thought maybe it was RSV. I called the Nurse right away. Since his Doc wanted to see him if his fever returned. I then drove to the school to pck up the kids and get the info I will need to tell the doc what was going on with james. while visiting with the teach she said her son was like this when he was teething. I was like katie got her first tooth when she was like 14 months old. but then jimmy started to cry again. I got a glance in his mouth and what do you know there on the bottom there were 2 teeth tring one you can see and one just about to break thru. The teacher looked in his mouth and said i think there are three. I was so surprised no wonde he is fussy, I knew he started teething he was chewing on everything. but i didnt thik it would be today when i would see them lol.. our little man is growing up so fast he is moving and rolling and sitting up he found his little voice and loves making sounds to katie cause he knows she will do the right back to him. now he has teeth geeze i bet her will be walking when he is 8months old to keep up with his big sister. Katie is so amazing with him. he loves to rock him, hold him and play with him, she does such a good job helping me clean up and put things in the wash, James and I are So lucky to be blessed with such wonderful kids.
anyway whats everyones plans for x-mas? looks like james will have to work so only the kids and I will be home. Sure makes me want to move back home jsut for the holiday get togethers.

soooo, little James is getting teeth already, good you aren’t still breast feeding LOL
like kittens, one day they are cute/cuddly, next day it is “NO!” then they become teens, another bag of worries LOL
, you & the kids start your traditions, if daddy working then look into some local things to do or just relax & enjoy watching the kids play with their santa gifts etc…it will be special because you all are special 
they do grow up so fast
Xmas, well we are seeing you xmas eve day or evening, so you will see some family
I have had years of wishing all family could be together & it did take me quite a few to just be happy the family is doing well & I know they think of the rest that cannot be there on that day :O, we phone or google chat, we stay in touch, that is the important part, staying in touch, then when a visit comes it is so neat
I know you miss home at christmas,
You are loved & cherished, keep that close to your heart & just enjoy!

the choices we make ultimately dictate the amount of time we will spend with our loved ones. it’s not easy for our families to do without having us and our children around, especially during the holidays. we moved away from our family and money was tight for a long time so that meant not being together as one big family as often as we’d like. some years we did make it back home to see family. some years family was able to come see us in california. but whether together or not physically, we were always in each others hearts <3 <3 <3
because I like to focus on the positive (lol) we were able to begin our own little families traditions for holidays. and sometimes it is nice just having a quiet celebration at home.
some years it will be $$$ that stands in the way, other years it may be impossible to get time off work. then the kids grow older and they get jobs…sigh….
enjoy whatever you do with whoever you do it with….and know that we love you all very much. we are thankful for the times we spend together and happy for you to be starting your own family traditions.
