Thanksgiving weekend

We had a very low key weekend, which was a welcome change from our usual crazy schedule! It was so nice to have a chance to catch up...around the house and on sleep and family time! Austin smoked a brisket and turkey plus we bought a ham, so we had lots of food and were able to stock the freezer a bit for baby's arrival. We started Thanksgiving morning with mass to thank God for his many blessings and then had a delicious lunch with Pawpaw and Manah complete with lots of pie (5 kinds...2 I made and 3 store bought)! We made several relaxing trips to the park over the weekend. While I would have loved to have a surprise early arrival by baby, I am super thankful for such a great weekend!
The kids dug out the holiday outfits from Lita for mass...


 Anastasia has mostly mastered the bike without training wheels. So proud!

 We must have worn him out with all the bike rides and park visits!

Now we will wait and see if baby girl will come in the next week or if we have to give her an eviction notice via Pitocin. I sure hope she comes on her own, as I much prefer a natural labor to induction!
