Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. We have so much for which to be thankful! While we are thankful everyday, Thanksgiving Day is a big reminder of our many blessings. I told Hannah that I was thankful for her and her baby brother/sister and her daddy and then asked her what she was thankful for. She said "I'm thankful for my babydolls and dollhouse". (I guess her daddy and I didn't make the top of her list) She has been a terrible sleeper lately, so I am thankful for the little sleep I do get. I'm telling myself that she is getting us ready for when Baby E2 arrives. Perhaps we will be thankful for the transition. It is hard to believe that is less than 2 months away!

We spent Thanksgiving Day with The Englert Family and Thanksgiving Evening with the Dufour Family. Mrs. Marilyn started a list with the Englert family trying to guess the sex, height and weight of Baby E2. All but 2 or 3 of them guessed the baby to be a boy. Since the last 7 born into that family have been girls, I think they are hoping for a change. It's been over 22 years since a boy has been born in the Englert family. I guess we'll find out soon enough. For Hannah I was certain she was a girl. I don't know why, but I just knew. With E2, I don't have a strong feeling. I think it may be a girl just because we don't have any girl names. We know for a boy, he will be Carter Joseph. For a girl.... Any suggestions are welcomed. We want biblical (but not Bathsheba), traditional, and one that goes well with Hannah Susanne.

Here are some pictures of our little turkey over the past 4 thanksgivings. It's amazing how fast time goes by.
