We had a lovely Thanksgiving here with the Hipps family yesterday. Jon, Rachel & Isabelle were here from Tennessee. Anita was here from Las Vegas. The rest of us were here to eat too much food. Jer & I hosted Thanksgiving right after we were married and the turkey wasn't cooked well enough. This time around was much better! I thought the food was quite good, the atmosphere was warm and calm, and the company was wonderful. We did have lots of help from Joanne and my sister, thankfully.
We've had a few big days at Sunny Hollow that I haven't talked about yet. First, a week ago, we had Owen's birthday celebration. We got to meet all his classmates, tell stories about Owen's life and after, Owen got to show us all his work alone, while the rest of the class was in the gym. It was great to see what he enjoys working on and how proud he is of his classroom. Then, on Wednesday we had our first parent/teacher conference with his 3 teachers. He certainly made us proud. They told us he was very kind to everyone and really interested in following all the steps of a presentation. They said he was certainly excelling in this environment. We couldn't agree more. Although still a quiet boy, I can see his confidence growing. I'm so happy with this whole situation.
I've kind of been focusing on Owen on the blog lately between his birthday and all the Sunny Hollow excitement, so here's a little update on our sweet Walter. His favorite word is now fish. (I wonder why!?) He probably says it about every other word. He's turning into a little goof-ball. He likes to try get people to laugh and loves seeing his bro do silly things. He can sure make a person smile. He thoroughly enjoyed his first real Thanksgiving meal yesterday! (And the left-overs for dinner tonight!)
