Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was pretty good. Glen is turning into quite the attention grabber. He had everyone at Thanksgiving just laughing at him and playing with him and his toys.

Glen is now in his big boy bed! So proud of him. He loves that bed! He runs into his room just to throw himself onto the bed and giggle. The first night we put Glen in his big boy bed he slept through the night and didn't get up. The second night, however, he woke up at 2:30am and did some tossing and turning. I heard him breathing differently on the monitor that I turned back on for this occasion. I went in and checked on him and he was wide awake lying in his bed. So I went back to bed since he was where he belonged. I continued to hear the breathing and thought that I should go and check on my poor baby who was having a hard time sleeping. I opened his door to find him with a reading light, not sure where he found that in his dark room, turned on and looking for a certain book on his bookshelf! He turned around and gave me that dear in the headlights look and darted over to his bed and jumped in it! So cute! He has only gotten out of the bed one other time and he even naps in there now. Time to move the crib! Oh how my little boy is growing up. Is there some kind of elixir that I can give him to stop the growing?!

I went shopping this morning (black Friday) at toys r us and got everything I went for! I got there an hour after the sale started and it was so pleasant! Most everyone was polite to each other and helped each other out. Nothing like Wal-mart was last year. Those Wal-mart people are crazy! I will not be going back there again on black Friday! But Toys r us I loved and plan to make a go of it again next year! We got Christmas lights today too! Can't wait to hang those!

Sam is on call for work starting yesterday. Luckily he didn't get any calls yesterday, but he made up for it today. He go 4 calls that needed to be taken care of today. The first one was at 2:15am but luckily he needed a part and was able to get the info for the part from the guy that was on call before him. So he got to go back to bed and be at the parts store at 7 am to get the part. Notice I said back to bed and not back to sleep. Poor guy didn't get much sleep after that. Then he got another call from a hospital and had to get the back up on call guy to take care of it. When he was done with the first place he had to go to a bank and take care of them, then after that he had to go to another place! He had been to the other side of Atlanta and back today. Then we were sitting down to eat dinner and the phone rang yet again! Yes, my poor husband got another call. He is still there now. Maybe this will be the last one this weekend! Let's hope.

Lots of Love

Family!!

Mims and Pips stopped by Mom and Dad's house and stayed for a couple of nights on their way to Florida. Glen got to spend the night with them Sunday and all day on Monday. We had a big family dinner last night and we had a great time. There was a lot of laughing that's for sure. We missed Nick, but maybe he can come next time.
Since Glen spent the night with his grandparent's and great grandparents, I got to sleep in and go to the gym later than normal. I was also able to take a couple of hours and go to the scrapbook store and get some stuff. I can't do that with Glen, because he likes to try and pull everything off of the shelves from his stroller (the store is really small, kinda like the card aisles at Hallmark).
Today we are going to go to story time and have some fun. Hope everyone is doing well.

Something New Again!!

Glen did something new again today! He sat on his train and used his feet to push himself! His feet now touch the ground while he is sitting on the train that he loves so much!! I am so proud of him! He pushed the train into the kitchen where it was in front of the oven door. He sat on the train and looked at his reflection in the oven door. This is something he does quiet often. Not sure why but he looks at himself there all the time and smiles. After he was done smiling at himself he started pushing himself forward with his feet!! Boy is he growing up quick. Hopefully the next new thing I blog about will be Glen talking.
