Thanksgiving Day 2010

We spent the holiday in South Carolina with Jimmy and Michelle. Dinner turned out very good considering Jimmy and I were in charge of the entire meal. Tim arrived from Brazil that morning and Michelle came home from the hospital with baby number four shortly after that.

Kyle likes rolls and potatoes!

Ty and Talon

yum yum!

All the kids enjoyed the four wheelers!

It can get a little crazy around here, but my kids love every minute of it!

Baby Clay is a very good baby. So Sweet!

Until I started bugging him. I just couldn't resist. He was just way too cute!

Thanks Blasers! We had a great Holiday with Ya'll!

Sorocaba has Mc Donalds!

This may not seem like a big deal to others, but we happen to be big fans. It was also the fanciest Micky D's I've ever seen. I know it will be important for the kids to see places that look familiar so although the drinks are served without ice, and some of the menu items I've never heard of, I'm sure we will visit this place often!

The most shocking thing to me was the fact one minute you can be in a really nice area, but around the corner you might be afraid to get out of your car! Yikes!

Tim just laughs at me. He thinks everything is no big deal and very safe, but this will take some getting use to for me!

Rest and Relaxation

Doctors orders!

The past couple of weeks have been full of doctor visits and medication. Tim had glaucoma surgery a couple of weeks ago. His eye seems to be doing good. He took a week off work and I took care of him while he snuggled up on the couch for days. I was completely jealous, but knew my time was coming. Last week I had a hysterectomy. The first 48 hours were pretty rough, but after that it's been smooth sailing. My mom (Grandma Lou) was able to come out for a week to help take care of us. She cooked all my favorite childhood meals and treats. The kids really loved that. Especially Alison who constantly wants to hear stories about when I was a kid. I am enjoying the fact that I'm staying in my pj's all day long and those pain pills are not so bad either. :) We are trying to get all our major medical issues out of the way so once in Brazil we can take our time finding new doctors etc, etc.....
