5 1/2 Weeks and counting...

Jackson visited with Santa at Lillian's birthday party... He told him he wanted Thomas the Train Engine and all the other engines. He also wants race cars and candy!

Will is going to be 6 weeks on Monday. I will have my visit with Dr. Neal on Monday as well to get the all clear on my incision and C-Section recovery. I feel great though I'm still exhausted from waking every couple of hours at night to feed Will. He is an eating machine! You might notice how full his little cheeks are in the pictures posted above. He wants to eat all the time and it shows. We are all still adjusting to the new little boy in our lives but things are somewhat getting into a routine. We've been getting out more and I'm able to handle both boys by myself. I'm just counting the days until we get Will to sleep a little longer at night and things will greatly improve then.

This week Uncle Lee came for a visit and we had a great time celebrating his 31st birthday. Happy Birthday Uncle Lee - I hope to spend many more with you!! In the words of Oprah, "You are a mother to me and the best friend I could ask for..."

Jackson has been really enjoying the last few weeks at school and they've been preparing for the big Christmas program next week. I can't wait to see if he'll perform this time without sitting on the floor and crying (as he did during the Thanksgiving program). Either way, it'll make for great photos.

Speaking of Christmas, our stockings are hung and the tree is lit. We're waiting on Jolly Ol' Saint Nick to visit (and Mimi and PawPaw Bob!). This will be a wonderful holiday as we are all together celebrating the birth of Jesus and our many blessings in life. More Christmas updates next week, including the Christmas program highlights...
