Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone. We spent Wednesday night at Tracy's parent's house. Had a Thanksgiving dinner that night then did a birthday breakfast on Thursday for his dad. I did laundry while they men watched football. Later we headed to my mom's for another Thanksgiving dinner.  We were pretty much the only ones of the married couples at my mom's. James loved the attention from my little brother and sisters. As we were leaving he started saying "Bye, See you" and now says it over and over again all day long. So cute. Well, that was our Thanksgiving. Nothing too exciting. It always is a great time to reflect over your blessings. I am grateful for many things. Too many to list.

Yesterday we put up the Christmas decorations and now we are in full Christmas mood. Just 28 more days.

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

It's going to happen

We are going to Grad-school, next fall. Well, really Tracy is going to grad-school. He will finally be finishing up his classes during the spring semester. I've talked about grad school before, but things haven't worked out to do it just yet. Paying for school became an issue, but we've been doing it one class at a time. With a wonderful scholarship from the school and a coming tax return, Tracy will finally be able to finish. The stars are aligning just right. I've been working on finding deadlines (most are in January) and requirements for the schools Tracy is going to. Anything I can do to help. Applying is quite the complicated process, maybe they are checking to see how well you can follow directions. Some schools websites are horrible to navigate through. He still hasn't made a final decision what schools he will apply to, so can't tell you yet. ;)

James had a development evaluation this morning. They did all kinds of tests on him. Not the abrasive kind of tests. He probably didn't even know they were testing him. He just got to play with their fun toys. Pretty much confirmed what we already knew that he is behind in the gross motor skills. He tested at the level of a 11 month old, so he will be receiving physical therapy twice a month. Who knows maybe he'll start walking before he even starts therapy and end up not needing it after all.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Isn't he cute?

I can't help it but share some pictures of my cute, funny little guy.
