Thankful
Thankful for my Harrison - who corrected me each time I said Thanksgiving DINNER - "It's a FEAST mom." Being the world's pickiest eater.....his FEAST consisted of goldfish and ice cream.
Thankful for my Ava - who ate both her share and her brothers share of the FEAST.
Thankful for my Jordan - who loves Thanksgiving FEAST day above all other days of the year....
Thankful. Thankful. Thankful.

Happenings
So.....I put up the Christmas Decor.....on November 16th. I know - ridiculous. But my kiddos sure love it.
Cute Cousin Claire came over and entertained us all with Harrison.......
Dan and Cat came for a visit - we LOVE it when that happens!
24 hours later we did this in 10 inches of snow.......

Harrisonisms
While passing a large rack of black bras at Target the other day he shouted: "WOW! Mom! Look at all these mask-es!
--------------------------------------
Just before his third birthday while being potty trained, Harrison was sitting on the toilet deep in thought when he wowed me with this.....
"I just don't get it mom. Does the poop start in my toes, go up my legs, into my tummy and out my bottom?"
---------------------------------------------
While trying to get him to try something new the other day, I told him he would like it because it was sweet. To which he replied.....
"Mom. Boys are handsome. Not sweet. I won't like that."
---------------------------------------------
He is very into referencing everything with some sort of age time line of when it happened or will happen - but he gets them all mixed up......for example:
"When I was 10 last night I flew on a plane to Disneyland."
"When I am seven I will eat spaghetti with sauce, but it is not for me. I'm three."
"Last night when I was older I turned 2."
"Yesterday I went to Oregon and I was twenty."
"Last year when I was a baby....well actually I was never a baby.....only Ava is a baby and she is crazy. And why does she have diarrhea?"
10 months
This little one has my heart. She is wild and all over the place - but sweet as can be, and we love her. Harrison told me today "Mommy, I love my little sister." Agreed.
She is starting to stand on her own, letting go for a few seconds at a time. And just today clapped on cue - and it made me smile. Love her.

Missing
For the past eight months (I think that is how long it has been since I blogged...) I have thought on multiple occasions - that I should just sit down and blog. Do a little here and a little there and eventually you will catch up. I took hundreds of pictures of my kids this summer, hundreds of Ava growing from a newborn to a crawling wild little one, hundreds of Harrison turning three and becoming my little man. I should have done it. About five weeks ago our home was broken into and amoungst all the replaceable items that were taken, it is the things I cannot replace that has caused my heart to ache. You see, I, like a lot of other people I know - do not print my pictures as I take them. Back in the days of film - this was not a problem. I kept meaning to, but I just never did. So my photos from the last two years are gone, as well as all the video I have taken over the last three years of my kids.
So I write this not for sympathy - but just as maybe a little kick start for others. Put your memories onto cd or external hard drives outside of your home. Because hard drives in the home get taken too. Anyway, I hope people don't mind if I take a picture or two off their blogs of things that involved my family in the past. I am going to try and piece together events from others photos.
Anyway - I have made a vow with myself to be more diligent about not only blogging, but printing pictures and becoming more organized altogether. So stick with me as I begin blog catch-up!
