Thanksgiving 2009

This year like the last 2 years Jason and I have gone to both family for thanksgiving, getting 2 meals instead of just one. This year we went to my parents in the afternoon where we ate kinda light and then we went to Jason's parents at 4 where we ate more food and pie. At my parents house it was us, my parents, my sister Andrea, and my brother Alan and his family. At Jason's parents house it was us, his parents, and his sister Jami and her family. There are so many things to be thankful of this year, but especially for our healthy baby boy William who will be 3 months old sunday and growing tons. This morning Jason went shopping on Black Friday at 2 in the morning to Walmart first and then to other stores so that i wouldn't have to go or wake up William. He got gifts for me and his side of the family. We're not planning on buying William many gifts because all of our family will be getting him things and he will only be about 4 months so he won't know what is going on. I am going to buy him a stocking and put things in his stocking for Christmas morning. Hope everything that went shopping this morning survived and got what they were looking for along with having fun.

Update on my Dad's Health

My dad and I at my high school graduation

For those of you that know my dad has lung cancer and is doing really well with the cemo and radiation. He has 1 more cemo on monday and then a 2 week break before getting more and he'll continue with radiation for 5 more weeks. He hasn't been sick, but super hyper where he stays up till 11 at night where before he went to bed at 8. Please keep praying for my dad and family as we are going through this with him. Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving.

First Post

This is my very first post on my blog. I am back subbing for Salem-Keizer school district along with other surrounding districts. I am glad that I am subbing lots, but at the same time I would love to have my own classroom which will come in God's own time and not mine. William is 10 weeks old now and growing a ton. He was 10 lbs 13 oz and 22.5 inches long at his 2 month appt The doctor said that he is perfect and that the little hole in his heart is all closed up because she couldn't hear it when listening to his heart. I will try to keep this up to date as new events occur in our lives and thank you for looking at my blog and reading all the wonderful things about my family.
