Thanksgiving

It really is a blessed holiday. Is it possible to go wrong with so much food? I think not. It was a good day filled with family, food and a puppy, so really is there any way it could have gotten better? I don't think so. 

Especially because I made cake balls and those always make everything better.

I'm really grateful for this time I'm able to spend with my family now. Who knew I would actually want to be around them as a teenager? It's weird to think we may not even be in the state in a couple years. I will say, a part of me misses being on my own, like I was in Ukraine. But I don't think I could ever permanently live too far from all my relatives. Though I suppose this all just depends on what life brings us with jobs and location, but I surely hope it's relatively nearby.

Penguin Sliding

It's official. I'm just going to backdate a lot of entries as I can over the breaks and that'll be the end of my slacking. I'll just start afresh and add pictures and stories as I go.

Emmett really likes to be a penguin these days. He'll lay on his stomach, straighten his legs behind him as well as his arms and wobble back and forth! The only problem is he won't roll over because his arm keeps getting in the way. He hasn't quite figured that part out yet. 

Selfies are always a must since we have like 50 mirrors in our apartment attached to all the walls.

He's sitting really well. And he walks now. Obviously with help and me holding his hands, but still. It's pretty darn impressive. He's so strong, it's crazy! 

He's so stinking cute! And his hair is ridiculously long. At least his hair is finally thinkening a little bit. Ah, this kid is just awesome. I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am for this little man and how perfect he is, especially for Doug and my lifestyle.
