Thanksgiving Jabalpur style

Thanksgiving sort of came and went at our house. We spent most of the time putting down new linoleum, but we did take some time Thanksgiving day to celebrate the impending arrival of our cousin Ash's baby (now arrived and is a handsome little guy named David). All Indian parties seem to eventually turn to music and dancing, which suits the boys just fine. Duncan looks like he gets his moves from BET, and Roland tends to be a break dancer. They are never short on providing entertainment. It was good to see everyone and give thanks for the many awesome gifts we have been given.

We hope all of you also had a wonderful holiday season and never forget to stop and appreciate all the big and little things.

one of Henry's many firsts

Maybe now is a good time to talk about our beach vacation seeing as how the it has been many months ago. It is notable just the same as it was Henry's first vacation, outside of family visits. We really had a blast, as is the case anytime we are away from work and school. Henry is following in Roland and Duncan's footsteps and has taken to the water like a fish. The bigger boys absolutely love the beach and never want to eat or get out of the water. Normally we go to the Medieval Times dinner show, but this year we switched it up and went to a new pirate dinner show complete with cannons, acrobatics and fighting. What more could you ask for to keep kids entertained while Shane and I enjoy our adult beverages and peaceful dinner. And, as always, we went to the amusement park and stayed until they kicked us out. We can't wait to go again.



This is for all the grandparents. These floats are totally sweet. No parental supervision required. Just kidding. The hard part is keeping the other kids out of the baby float.
