Thanksgiving with the Fams!

First with one side . . .

. . . and then the other!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Quick Change

I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll be the first to admit, I'm never quite satisfied with sticking to one decoration or keeping something in one place. I shop, shop, shop and steal idea after idea looking for that something new that will hold me over for the next few months.

Bored with the wine bottle paintings I had hanging in the kitchen, I found (okay, stole) some other idea for the walls . . .

Hmmm . . . quite satisfying . . . for now.

Baby Cate has arrived . . .

NATURALLY!

Wait a minute . . . you may not have read that right . . . I said NATURALLY!

No drugs, no meds, no NOTHING.

And let me tell you, I now understand why many father's faint . . .

Even through all the IMMENSE pain, Jennifer was incredible! She totally hung in there.

It really was amazing.

I always imagined myself getting an epidural, but after being with Jennifer in the delivery room and watching Cate appear with no epidural . . .
I will FOR SURE- be getting an epidural.

For the record . . . unless there are unforeseen circumstances . . . no doubt, no way, no how will I ever attempt such a thing.

EVER.

And that's all I have to say about that.

2 1/2 hours before the birth

Cate- seconds after she was born

All warmed up and settled . . .

Sweet, baby Cate!

Yet Another K Quote of the Day!

Maybe a little redundant, but they've been funny this week . . .

Scene: lunch time in the cafeteria . . . a new lunch item is discovered . . .

Student A: What's that?

Student B: Potatoes!

Student A: No it's not.

Student B: Mrs. Marsh, what is that?

Teacher: It's sweet potatoes.

Student B: Yeah, sweet potatoes. I told you.

Student A: Oh . . . well . . . it won't grow hair on your chest.

Teacher (surprised): Really . . . so what does?

Student A: Broccoli.
