Thanksgiving part 2!

Glendale does Glitter!

Rodney, Grandpa Danny and the babies

Cousins playing!

What a wonderful weekend! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. We had such a great time with the family! Friday, Andrea and I left the babies with Grandma Angie and did a little shopping. Saturday didn't start out so great. Rodney left for work only to find Andrea and Ryan's car was broken into right in front of our house. Luckily, the thief was stupid- taking only the GPS (which they can't use- they ripped the power cord out of the charging part!) and leaving a lot of other stuff behind. The police came quickly and the glass was replaced by a mobile service by noon. All was well again! Last night we went to Glendale Glitters and had fun just walking around and seeing the lights and spending some nice family time together. Everyone left today after church which makes the house seem strange and empty now. Tomorrow is back to normal, except with lots of laundry involved!

Thanksgiving

Cousins! Addison (4 months), Colin, and Bella

Brandon and Colin

Uncle Ryan and Colin

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We have so much to be thankful for, not just on this day, but always! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Probably the least stressful one for me yet! Nothing fancy this year, but it also helped out so much that I wasn't working and could do a little bit at a time beforehand. We've had a great time so far with Rodney's parents, his sister, brother-in-law and their 3 kids here. Colin likes having his cousins around! Enjoy some pictures from our gathering! Colin also did great at his doctor appointment on Wednesday. He got 5 vaccines/flu shots all together and didn't even cry until the 3rd one, and it didn't last long! He must have high pain tolerance! He is officially 28.5 inches and 21 lbs. 11.5 oz. That's right- bring on those 12 month clothes! :) We hope you all had a wonderful day with family and friends!

6 months old!

Happy after a bottle and ready for bed

11/23- 6 months old!

Super Frog!

Ready for church

I can't believe Colin is 6 months old! Half a year has already gone by since his arrival! Amazing. I thought Colin's 6 month appointment at the doctor was today, but it's Wednesday (oops!) so I'll have to post his height/weight stats later. But, according to our home measurements he's 28 1/2 inches long and weighs over 22 lbs. A big boy! He's doing great though- eating like a champ (peas are his favorite), rolling over both ways, and sitting up like a pro! His latest thing he finds fun to do is shrieking- even starting that at 6 am. Not so fun for us! This week we are looking forward to Rodney's mom, dad, sister, brother in law and their 3 kids coming for Thanksgiving! We can't wait! We also celebrated today the birth of Colin's cousin, TJ, born to Rodney's brother. More cousins to play with! We have so much to be thankful for this year!

November already?

Colin helping Daddy read his cards.

No, I want the ribbon! Sitting up!!

He can even turn around without falling over!

Dee Dee just had to come investigate the camera!

I can't believe it! It's November already! How did that happen?? We've been keeping busy in the Verner household. Rodney turned 32 on the 9th and we had a great day with family and friends. Colin helped Rodney open his present- mostly just by trying to eat the ribbon and wrapping paper! I've been busy at home taking care of Colin and making him baby food. The freezer is well stocked so far with acorn squash, butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, apples, pears and bananas! I think he's good on food for a while! We do get out occasionally still. Colin is doing great. I think teething is coming soon, but the major accomplishment has been sitting up on his own. He still teeters over every so often but he's getting better! We are now in "holiday mode"- thinking of Thanksgiving and Christmas! We can't wait for Rodney's family to be here- just a week and a half before they come! Before we know it will be Christmas already. My how the time flies!
