Teething bites

Howdy friends.

Stella and Maggie's teeth are coming in and that's as fun as you can imagine. They're a little more irritable and one or the other will wake the other up during the night, but otherwise they're making the best of things. Maggie's bottom two teeth came in first and then one of Stella's bottom teeth came last weekend.

We thought you could see it here, but we guess not...

Here's Maggie's bottom teeth. As Patti's chest can attest, they are sharp.

Thanks to their teeth, the girls can now eat Cheerios and other treats. They especially like hard pizza crusts.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We have lots to be thankful for this year - when we're not too tired to realize it.

We maximized our Thanksgiving yesterday with a day full of hiking, cooking, cleaning and eating. Will started the day with a "turkey" breakfast.

Stella and Maggie enjoyed some of their first Cheerios. Maggie's bottom middle teeth have come in and Stella's first teeth aren't far behind.

After a short hike and some quality time in front of the TV watching the Packers, we settled down for some of Patti's fantastic cooking. The girls enjoyed a puree of sweet potatoes, apples and cranberries and Will ate a ton of turkey. He didn't care for the green bean casserole or the stuffing so Dad "sacrificed" and ate it for him. Will was very huggy and he thanked us for no good reason, which was pretty sweet.

Why Will should nap

Will didn't nap the other afternoon and he ended up falling asleep at the table during dinner. Patrick couldn't resist taking this picture.

This goes without mentioning, but Will wasn't drinking the beer (he has higher standards)...
