Happy New Year!! This has been an eventful week. We said goodbye to 2008 with our friends Randall and Andrea.  As always Andrea did a great job of hosting and preparing a feast.  Our mutual friends Kim and Jason and their kids were also there to ring in the new year.  Wii were in for a surprise.  Both of the other families had Wii games in their homes.  After the kids went to bed we were thoroughly entertained by Wii activities.  We had a blast and now are shopping for the Wii game. On New Years Day  we had our family over for a traditional southern meal filled with all of the makings of good luck.  My Mom cooked up some black eyed peas, and mustard greens. TwinMom did the rest.  FunUncle surprised us all with the news of an impending wedding.  By the end of the month he will be hitched. The photos below are of our family gathering: (Click on pictures to enlarge)

Our precious Kate was supposed to have her stint removed this week but we just got news that it will be delayed.   She has developed a bad rash and the Dr wants to be careful trying to ward off any infection during this procedure.  This week we were pleasantly surprised to get this wonderful arrangement from our church. We really feel the prayers and love. Thanks!!

We have so much to be thankful for!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  Pepe and Grandma came up to celebrate with us. We also celebrated their anniversary.  On thanksgiving day we had a visit from friends.  Grandboogie outdid herself and came over with her wonderful stuffing! She even managed to cook up some extra good turnip greens!  That made TwinPop very happy (and full)!  FunUncle came over with the pies and earned a few extra points with Mr H!  By time it was all over we were stuffed but thankful! Now it is time to get ready for Christmas.

PLEASE BE PATIENT THE ALBUM HAS 15 PHOTOS!  HOPEFULLY YOU WILL FIND IT WORTH THE WAIT.

Thanksgiving Photos

This is our week in Pictures: (To enlarge any photo select it with your mouse) This week was a little cold, so we dressed Mr. H in cold weather gear. All was fine until we tried to take off his hat!  He let us know that he wanted to continue wearing it.  According to his teacher he wore it for half of the morning before they were able to pry it off of his head. We have been trying to teach the kids about the holidays. They know turkey and the sound that it makes. Santa says HO, HO, HO Merry Christmas and brings toys and books.  They have really enjoyed looking at the Christmas video clips on the computer. The above picture is the two of them viewing a Santa video on Dad's Computer.

Sometimes you just need a hug!

My cousin Dan (AKA Uncle Fix-it) came down for a visit. He really helped my Mom (AKA Grand Boogie, Common Tater) with a lot of heavy labor chores.  We are all gratefull for what he has done for my Mom.  We were able to get together on Friday night for Pizza.  Afterwards he showed us photo's of his trip to Italy to visit his son's family.  What a wonderful trip! For those of you that wondered what the title of this week's blog entry meant here is the explanation.  SuperNanny and SuperManny gave TwinPop a wonderful gift of their time for his birthday.  On Saturday night they came to our home and took the kids out to look at pets in the mall and have Pizza.  TwinMom and TwinPop finally had a real date! We really had a great time and are very gratefull for the wonderful gift!  The photos above are of an outfit we got for their daughter (aka Princess Z ).

We had a great weekend filled with all kinds of fun! On Friday Cousin Carter, Aunt Heather and Uncle Melvin (aka Chuckie) came up for a visit.  Dad was sick but we convinced him that the fall festival at our school was the medicine that the Dr ordered.  We had a nice meal, especially Chuckie who went back for thirds on the chicken. After dinner we rode ponies, petted the animals in the petting zoo and played in the playground.  The next morning everyone but Dad went to the fair. We had a great time seeing all of the animals, riding the rides and playing the games. Uncle Mel even won a stuffed rodent!  That evening Aunt Heather and Uncle Mel went to a wedding.  What a time we had with cousin Carter.  We had a gourmet meal of grilled cheese and grapes.  Mom and Dad took all of us on a walk through the neighborhood.  When we got home we splashed around in the tub until Mom said quits! To finish off the evening we had some juice and watched Curious George.  Sunday was a sad day, we played at the playground and then had to say bye to everyone. We can't wait for the next visit!

If you liked the post please leave a comment.  More importantly take the time to thank a veteran today.  Someone is standing guard today so you can enjoy the freedom that we enjoy in this great country. To my Dad I can pray that you hear my prayers of thanks for your service.  Pepe thank you for your service.  To my brother I thank you for being on watch and admire the service that you continue to provide.
