Giving Thanks

Our Thanksgiving holiday was great! Grandma and Grandpa came up from Connecticut as did Uncle Erik and Aunt Anna. We had a really yummy dinner and I think Oliver enjoyed it the most. He was so entranced by all the food (especially the pumpkin cheese cake) that he felt it necessary to double fist his food. One spoon was just not enough!

After dinner, Oliver and Grandpa hit the back yard for some fall weather fun.

By evening time everyone was pretty pooped out. Ollie cozied up on his Grandpa's lap and enjoyed a little snuggle time.

We have lots to be thankful for this year. We have a happy and healthy son, a warm home, and a beautiful family. In the face of all the uncertainty in the world right now we can at least hang on to the fact that we have a wonderful family to love and we are thankfully loved by a wonderful family. Thanks everyone!

In our little family of three we view support as a three way street. Marina and Oliver support Jennifer at her football game.

Jennifer and Oliver support Marina running her first 5k road race.

And Marina and Jennifer will support Oliver in whatever activity he chooses to partake in. One day we may see him take his first swing with a baseball bat, or his first football game, or his first piano recital, or his first debate match, or his first dance recital. Who knows what's in store for us but whatever it is we are sure going to enjoy every second of it.

I love this, especially the end. Ollie is one lucky kiddo.

A baseball bat is an option
