Thanksgiving has come and gone!






I can't believe it is already December....where has the time gone?? We stayed in Colorado for Thanksgiving this year. We figured it would just be easier with a newborn who still gets up several times a night and is only quiet when he is sleeping!!! Yes...that's right, God saved the fussy one for our last! The last few days, I seriously think he's screaming whenever his eyes are open. He's content when he's eating, but likes to use his lungs other than that! We spent Thanksgiving with our friends, The Kissel's. We had a fun and relaxing day!! Addison and Maddox are both still LOVING their baby brother. The last week Addison has started crying alot more and says she misses her sister Annabelle. We are not sure if maybe she is jealous that Maddox has a brother or if she saw how sad it made us the first couple times she did it and tries to get that same reaction out of us. Not that Jon and I don't, but Addison definitely keeps Annabelle's memory alive and doesn't let anybody forget that we have 6 in our family and not 5! Whenever somebody asks us how many kids we have or asks her how many brothers and sisters she has, she always includes Annabelle in our family. It is very sweet, but when she says that her sister Annabelle is in heaven with Jesus, you can just see the discomfort on people's faces. One lady said oh, heaven, I hear that is a very nice place! We decided Cooper's nickname should be minicooper right now instead of coop deville. Once he is a little older, we will change the nickname to that. Then when he is an older man, he can be called Caddy!! HEHEHE Then we would have Addy, Maddy, and Caddy! Ok, you would think I have too much time on my hands huh? I have been fighting the flu/sinus infection/cold the last couple of days. I'm praying the kids don't get sick. Going to help Maddox build a tower with his blocks, so signing off for now.
