Thanksgiving

We had a great time at my sisters house. It was her first turkey and it turned out yummy. It was good to have all of us together. We were all glad to have the sun out and be able to spend some time outside. Lori has a very cool bird hanging around her house. They have figured out that it is a golden pheasant, native to Eastern Washington. We loved the bird. It is so amazing looking close up. It lets you get very close to it and I was able to touch it, briefly.

As far as the house projects go , we are still slowly poking along. The floors are almost done downstairs. Brian also spent some time getting the yard cleaned up. I love him a little bit more when he does yard work. It makes such a difference. He does a great job.

River has been his usual independent, happy self. He keeps talking more and more. He says hungry, dinner when he wants something to eat, no matter the time of day. We are starting to hear a few sentences come from him like, I want some some. He has been growing so much. He can wear size 3t now!!! His 2t shirts fit him , but there is no room to grow. The newest battle in our house is sitting at the table for dinner. He is just determined that he eats on the run and I am just as determined that we eat at the table. I have to love the fact that he is his own person and knows what he wants.
