new beginnings

I love this time of the year. The smell of turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie brings a smile to my face. Every year, families and friends come together to fellowship, eat good food, and give thanks. This will be Mason's first Thanksgiving and even though he won't remember any of it, I know I will cherish those memories.

Our little munchkin has started eating solid foods. He has been eating cereal at night in a cereal bottle feeder and loves it. After his checkup this week, they told me that I could start giving him solids. We set the high chair up and at first he wasn't exactly sure what to do in it, so he started to suck on the tray. After we got him strapped in, I pulled out the sweet potatoes and attempted to feed him with a spoon. Apparently I wasn't feeding him fast enough, because as soon as I pulled the spoon away, he would let out a cry for more and pull my hand towards his mouth. He loves it.

On another note, Adam has received the official offer with Nalco. We were so excited when we heard the news and couldn't be more thankful for this new opportunity in our lives. He will be heading to Naperville, Illinois December 10th for training, paperwork, and to get set up with everything he will need for work. After that, we will take a trip to Bakersfield to look for a house, followed by Christmas back home, and then the movers will come and pack us up and we will be heading west to California.

We have alot to be thankful for this year. God has blessed us so much by giving us a beautiful little boy who lights up our lives. I always wanted to be a mom, but I never knew it would be this good. We will be home for the holidays, so if any of you are in Houston and want to get together over the week, let me know.
