Jocelyn's got the hiccups this morning, which is fun.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We did. I always have fun watching the boys play with Ruby and Sage. Morgan has finally started engaging in the group and he and Sage actually look to be playing together at times. He is SO huge when next to her! They are on the same level in many ways and this time she decided to chase him around the house and he was LOVING IT! It was so adorable that I broke out the video camera at one point just to get a few minutes of the four of them together and I finally got the time of day from Ruby who seemed quite happy to be an actress. I showed her the screen I was looking through and she wanted to get in the picture so I told her where to sit and she took direction quite well. While Sage wouldn't actually come near me, I did manage to crawl around after her for a minute or two without her crying and running to Mandy - so a very successful encounter!

Timothy stayed up very late to play games with the adults, and for a while seemed quite the poker player, but then lost everything when the cards stopped going his way. Still, he had the greatest time ever and is still talking about it. He also ate at the adult table for Thanksgiving and tried a little bit of everything, including Grandma's famous cranberry mold. Granted, I've never actually seen someone take smaller bites, but it was trying nonetheless! He did finish off all his turkey and potatoes and had seconds of those and chocolate cream pie for dessert,

Yesterday we dropped by to see Josh's aunt and uncle where they are staying in Windsor for the weekend and had a very nice visit. Morgan was a little out of it, but hey, he didn't break anything (and there was A LOT to choose from!). He made it about 90 minutes before becoming a complete pain in the butt, so we took that as our cue to leave. We spent the rest of the day sitting around and eating leftovers.

Today we have a few painting projects for Timothy to do, which he is excited about, and Josh promises we'll tidy up as the house looks like a tornado hit. How on earth do we generate so much laundry?
