Happy Thanksgiving!


Hello Everyone, Happy Thanksgiving! We celebrated two occasions today. Tavan (left) and Eli (right) turned 1 month old, and Turkey Day. We had a big housefull of guests, including Oma Schlichting, Grandma and Grandpa Ames, Diane and David Karlsbraaten, Great-Grandpa Axel, Auntie Kylene and Toby Johnson. We enjoyed some great turkey, some mediocre football, and good company!

Tavan and Eli are really packing on the pounds, as both weigh 7+ pounds now and are becoming more alert and focusing on things and really moving their hands. Tavan even started cooing yesterday!!! YEAH! We are all very proud of him!!! They are still very sleepy little ones but continue eating every 3 hours. Let me tell you, they don’t miss that. Here are some more pictures taken yesterday...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!! Your beautiful baby boys are growing fast... How did you get such a great picture of all five kids? I can't ever seem to get my kids to hold still long enough for a pic of just the two of them! Love the updates! Keep them coming...

Miranda you have a beautiful family! I can't imagine how busy you are. You look great! Tracy gave me you blog address, I hope you don't mind. I think Danika looks just like you. Take care of yourself and maybe I will run into you next time I am in North Dakota.
Take Care,
Thea Hanson Grindeland
