Thanksgiving Weekend Revisited

We had a very relaxing weekend with family and friends. On Friday afternoon, Diana, Mike, Hadassah and Nethaneil arrived. We were waiting anxiously for them. We couldn't believe how much the kids had changed.




Nethaneil had lots of smiles for us ... the cutest dimples! He is now 3 months old and can hold is head up and back stiff quite well. He doesn't fuss too much and when he does, it's just a cute little whimper. Hadassah loves to give him kisses and tries to help change his diaper.

Hadassah is a little rascal with a cute grin and a mischeivous look but if she doesn't get her way, the siren goes off. She's pretty good though. When you get her giggling, she's hard to resist.


On Saturday morning, we got up and Hadassah decided to read Nethaneil a story.


Then we all went out for breakfast at the local greasy spoon. I had Eggs Florentine. It wasn't that great.


The kids were good. Hadassah had a great breakfast of jam and toast while Nethaneil just hung around on everyone's lap.



That afternoon, we welcomed the Vanderheides (a missionary family) into our home and we promptly fed them a Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner. They are from Australia and are working in Papua New Guinea.

On Sunday, we relaxed and had a crowd over for dinner, again. On Monday, we whipped up a great waffle/egg/bacon/whipped cream/fruit frenzy and ate to our hearts content. Then Diana and Mike packed the kids up and took off for home.
