Catching up

I'm so sorry I haven't written in the past week. Jeremy and I have been very busy. Last Wednesday we flew to Chicago for Thanksgiving, where we met Robb. We were able to spend some good quality time with Robb's family until we flew back to Tucson on Monday night. Thanksgiving was wonderful and Jeremy had a great time seeing all of his relatives. I think everyone was equally happy to see him. Unfortunately, no turkey for him--but maybe next year!

Now Jeremy and I are focusing on Christmas. He helped me decorate the tree and hang up stockings. This afternoon we are going to head out and do some Christmas shopping, and then later tonight we will wrap presents. Tomorrow night Robb is flying in from Minneapolis. We are really looking forward to having him home, even if only for a few days. He flies back Sunday afternoon...short but sweet visit.

Jeremy is still smiling up a storm and "talking" when he is happy or interested in something. He is the most talkative after he eats and has a fully belly and clean diaper. We have this undersea activity gym for him that he just adores. I put him under there and he will talk to himself for a long while. There is a beach ball he can kick now (his legs finally reach it!) and fish rattles he likes to hit with his fists. There is also a mirror that hangs above his face and when he sees himself in it he giggles--it is so cute.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our trip to Chicago last week. Enjoy and hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
