Hello, once again my apologies for the delay in getting updates done on the blog. Its hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I had 10 days off from work. Not a whole lot to show for it really but it was a much needed break from the day to day work grind.
Well, we made it down to the Rancho Not So Grande the day after Thanksgiving. The babies really were a dream in the car on the way down and back up, but it was pretty taxing on them getting used to the new sites, smells, surroundings and the altitude of the ranch. It sits on a hill at about 1,800 feet above sea level and we live at about 500 feet above sea level in Dallas. It took the babies a day to get settled and used to what was going on but after that initial first day it was pretty smooth sailing.
The dedication/Christening program at The First Methodist Church of Mason went really well. It was a beautiful service and the babies behaved themselves for the most part. Claire stretched out the wind pipes a little bit during the dedication, but overall they did very well. Paul and Judy had a wonderful reception back at the ranch after the service, it was really nice. Certainly a day to remember.
We are getting ready for Christmas around here, we are staying in Lantana this year and the family is coming to us. Our Christmas shopping is done, the house is decorated and we are ready for a special first Christmas with the babies and our family!
The babies are doing great, all are eating some rice cereal each day along with the formula. We go back to the Dr. in January and will then talk about eating real food sorta, I guess! Do you believe that?! No way. Matt is just over 17lbs., Drew is around 16 lbs and Claire is a little over 14lbs. The picture at the top of the blog is our Christmas picture, they are all starting to look so different and believe me, all three of them act completely different from each other. They all have their own personality, quirks, laughs and mannerisms, just really crazy to watch them each day grow and become their own person.
I am taking some time off again around Christmas to be with our family. I am finishing up this blog entry from my laptop so that I can get a post in this evening! I will be sure to get some pictures in the next post.
From our family to yours, we wish you the Happiest of Holidays and a very, very Merry Christmas!
Love,
Todd, Katie, Matt, Claire and Drew
