Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for this year, but must of all are these two wonderful kids. We have the most amazing kiddos, I cannot get enough of them! We hosted Thanksgiving and it went off without a hitch. Em actually sat at the table for the whole meal, and Jordan slept through the meal and clean up. Can't ask for much more! We did some shopping, got the tree up. All and all, great time off with the family! 

 Happy Kids! 

 Em got sleepy, so took a nap in the hallway

 This kid lights up my world! 

 Love them! 

Em insisted taking a pic with this mannequin. She even got matching headbands of them to wear! 

Yay for a two day work week! Boo for a sick Emmy!! She started tossing her cookies last night, so hopeful she is feeling better for lots of eating later this week! Not much to report other than we had our first snow fall-only Em was excited...

Jordan's Baptism!

It's been a rough week, so glad we had something to celebrate! Jordan was baptized on Sunday! He wore the same baptismal gown that was worn by Claudia, Chris, Adam and Emma Clare. Pretty special! It was a great day with family and friends, and a time to celebrate our little miracle!! I have a ton of pictures, so I'll keep this short! Thank you for everyone who came out to celebrate this special little guy!

 Jords looks thrilled! 

 Sleeping little man! 

 He smiled the whole time!

 Ok, he is too cute! 

 Jordan and his Godparents! 

 Pop pop and Jords

Jords and Em had some Grandma and Nana bonding time this weekend while Chris and I had a night away and got massages and sleep! Very grateful to be near family who love our babies so much! 

Em had a great week at school and got to see Trolls movie with Grandma! 

Jords is doing well. At physical therapy we started doing kinesio tape to help build up his ab muscles-so far seems to be going well. Basically, it helps remind him to contract his lower abs and lift his legs up. I've already seen improvements and it has only been a few days! 

 Kinesio taped belly!

 So cute! 

Em sleeping on the way to school, time change does a number on you! 

Happy Halloween!

Just had to share the cuteness of Halloween with the kiddos! Ok-on to Christmas music! 

 My new outfit from Aunt Jill and Uncle Ray! 

 Mommy put me in Christmas jammies right after trick or treating!

 Cutties! 

 My little witch! 

Happy Halloween! I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but happy Em is super excited so that makes me a little more excited this year! 

Fun weekend going to Em's dance class (first time parents got to watch!), carving pumpkins and just hanging out. 

Jordan had his 6 month doctor's appointment, up to 14lbs 5oz and 25.5 inches! He is doing great! He also had a neurosurgeon appointment and head ultrasound-still the miracle baby as things have continued to improve. Everyone seems fairly confident that he will be able to "catch up" by a year. He is already doing mostly what a typical 6 month old would do-rolling both ways, babbling, smiling and has starting eating solids. He likes carrots, squash, sweet potatoes and apples. Dislikes bananas and peaches.

Em is still so in love with her brother. She was holding him this morning and started to tear up, I said "Em, what's wrong" and she said "I just love him so much". Heart officially melted! 

Getting ready to go to 6 month Dr. 

Pumpkin Carving! 

 Jords finds the whole thing pretty funny! 

 Parent preview day! 

 Sunday morning cuddles!
