Happy Thanksgiving 2010

Rhett on his first Thanksgiving, ready to feast!

We enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving holiday in Arizona this year.  Unusual for us, since we are usually in Colorado over the holiday with my family.  We cooked a small 'feast' and had Rhonda, Nic, Jayde & Dani over.  We had some fun 'posing' Rhett with the turkey also; and he did enjoy some mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and distinctly DISLIKED the cranberry sauce!  Not quite ready for turkey yet.  I even managed to get up the Christmas tree, much to Rhett's delight, and Mommy stayed up late decorating.

We were all sick over the holiday too, so we spent our couple of days just laying around in our jammies trying to recover and get well. Rhett enjoyed lots of cartoon watching, with his Grinch also!  Rhett also recently cut tooth #3, and I can see on his top gum line several teeth just ready to pop through.  It's been a teething frenzy in our house.


We have had a tumultuous year, to say the least, but there is much to be thankful for regardless.  I thought about writing a list, but then I got a little crazy and started listing things like infant Tylenol and sleep...well, you can discern all of those things from my posts.  Instead, I'll share a quote I recently came across which struck me:

This is our purpose:  to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us....to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves, to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.  (Oswald Spengler)

Like father, like son.  Turkey leg!

Cartoon Time
And I couldn't resist sharing the below pictures, from a bath last week while Maddie was visiting.  She had Rhett cracking up with laughter simply dumping water into the tub.  He got to laughing so hard he couldn't stop, and we were all laughing at him laughing.  These are the good times, for sure, as he is a great deal of my 'meaning' as a mommy and I am so incredibly proud of him.

Oh my gosh bath time is so funny!
Can't stop laughing!

Colorado Visit

Image
Right after 6 month pics were taken, Rhett and Mommy went to visit the Colorado Grandparents.  We needed to get out of the heat for awhile and it was a great time.  We did a lot of visiting with everyone.  Rhett decided he LOVES the outdoors and he was truly in heaven the entire week.  We were able to relax on the porch, outside.  He discovered a couple of really awesome outdoor things.  Trees and Birds.  He loved just being outside gazing up into the trees, and he even got his hands on a few, tearing the leaves and branches he could muster off the limbs.  He also spotted geese, black birds and even had an encounter with some chickens!  He rolled around in some green cold grass, received several puppy kisses, worked on his crawling, yoga & hopping skills.  Mommy raided Granddads garden before returning home.  A fun time was had by all. Boy, this country living is a whole new thing .    My Grandp...
