Thanksgiving



What a great day! Started Thanksgiving off by sleeping in a little & making up for the super early snuggle time I got with Ryder. Can't beat being spoiled by the hubster & catching up a bit on the much desired z's. I also got the chance to try a new recipe & made a scrumptious pumpkin bread that the boys & I enjoyed as an early snack.

We missed seeing our family this week but have been very productive & should be ready to re-list the house on Monday. We got the news late Tuesday that our buyer had backed out. After pushing the issue, he attempted to get financing set up & was denied which cancels the sale contract & leaves us a bit behind financially after canceling our lease contract. However, we are praying hard to see God's plan for us & that we are able to be patient as he unfolds that plan for us.

It's been a rough month but we're looking forward to December. I am officially a stay at home mom as of this month & used my first month away from work to get us ready for the move. Ryder will be at home with me starting next week & I hope I am able to keep him entertained (& teach him a few things along the way). Any tips & tricks are definitely welcome! I am hoping to get to the zoo & children's museum with him before #2 arrives (in addition to getting her nursery setup!).

Today, as always, we are thankful for our family & friends, our health & safety, a comfortable home & of course, our Lord. We don't always understand His ways, but we trust in His plan for us.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!





A few pics to catch up on this month ...

Ryder & I went to the school/church Fall Festival at the beginning of the month. His favorite activity was chasing the chickens, duck & goose in the petting zoo area. We tried the bounce house, but Ry was NOT a fan of that. Once I got in with him he warmed up to it a bit, but I think we'll wait until next year to try it again.



Pics from the Notre Dame v Boston College game. Ry received this outfit from Grandpa (Ronquillo) and LOVES to wear it!
