Noah meets the Stronczek's and celebrates his first Thanksgiving





Grandma and Grandpa Stronczek arrived on Monday - late from Ft. Wayne.   They have been getting to know Noah this week....although he has been a little cranky.   That might be related to Mommy getting a little infection that is now on the mend.   

It has been great to have them around.   I really appreciate just having my Mom around to spend hours talking to while I'm nursing, resting or whatever.   And they keep the house so nice and clean....happiness.

Today, we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Sampson Family (Jay, Paula, Zach, Ashton and Louisa) and the Stronczek's (Leo and Geri).   We had a wonderful meal prepared primarily by Jesse - everything tasted excellent and was delivered with such perfection.   Paula brought some desserts.   Leo made one of his famous Polish snacks - sour kraut and peas (not my favorite).   

Noah grows by the day.   He has been smiling so much more this week.   He seems to recognize people more.    He has enjoyed his vibrating chair with the bright toys.   He has been trying to bat at them although we think it is more by accident then by design.   But we love every bit of his 11 lbs.    We really love him when he only wakes up once a night for a feeding too!   

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
