Happy Thanksgiving

Luke celebrated his first Thanksgiving today! He even wore a Baby's First Thanksgiving onesie which lasted for about an hour before...BLOWOUT! We visited both Grandparent's houses and his favorite foods were sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. Thanks to everyone who cooked for us and didn't expect much participation from us.

Who let dad write on the plate? Some people celebrate Thanksgiving but the Brumleve's celebrate Thanksgioing. Funny thing is, when Todd and I saw the writing we assumed Brian did it and started razzing him. Sorry Bri.
***OOPS- I have to apologize to Dad now too. Turns out mom did the writing***

Group photo...mom and dad are in fact shrinking.

Luke loves his uncle Brian because they practically have the same amount of hair.


We had cake for Raymond and Todd's bdays. Eden and Avri baked it and decorated it themselves, it was delicious.

Every baby should have their own fur coat! Teri actually wrapped him up in Grandma Judy's blanket and apparently he was laughing one minute and asleep the next.

Do you ever have a moment of extreme thankfulness? Appropriately (and oddly) enough I had one tonight while watching a reality show about a family with 3 sets of multiples. The first two sets were twins and the last were sextuplets. One of the 6 was born with cerebal palsy and that was what got me "thanking." Seeing that sweet 4 year old girl who couldn't walk or talk was heartbreaking. I can't think of a better day to have an awareness of how lucky I am to have a healthy little boy. During the quiet moments I realize that becoming a mom has made me want to "save" all the children. Then my quiet moment is over and it is back to having my hands full with just Luke.
