Happy Thanksgiving !!!





Thanksgiving was at Krystal and Glen's this year they had everyone over. Justin and Allison did not come home. Krystal cooked her first turkey and it was a really nice family. We really love the Needham family. They have all been so wonderful to Krystal and then to us. I think Krystal and Glen did a great job.

Our trip to DC for Veteran's Day





What a great trip. We left on Saturday and returned on Tuesday evening. Rule for the trip have fun and no talking about kids. We got to see the Holocaust Museum which was heartbreaking. We went up Washington's Memorial, met Bo Derek, heard Vice President Dick Cheney speak at Arlington and went to CG hill at Arlington National Cemetary. We stayed out late, had dinner, laughed talked and did adult things the entire time. Sometime I think life goes by so fast and I spend so much time at work, being mom and all the duties that entails that I forget what it's like to be "Amber", this trip reminded me just how wonderful that can be. I have been a mom since I was 18 years old and it is not very often that I get alone time or time with Kit. I need to do alone time and "adult time" with Kit. I would never miss anything in my children's life but often I am to tired or to busy to take the time to enjoy being with Kit. I need to make sure to recharge as it makes me a better mom and a better person.
