From our family to yours, we hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. May God bless you and remind you of everything that you are thankful for. Love, Scott, Bianca and Wyatt

Wyatt News...

A few weeks ago, Wyatt started sitting up. Well, he has been sitting up by himself but now he goes from crawling position to sitting! Its really cute how he goes about it. I can't remember if I told the "grandma's" or not so just in case...

Beautiful Flowers...

Scott came home early yesterday from work! I walked around the corner to give him a hug and came face to face (bush) with these...the biggest, most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen!!!! Above: Edited version Below: Non-edited version Did I mention what a wonderful husband I have!? He even planned a "date night" tonight, arranged for a wonderful babysitter and everything! He is great! These remind me of Grandma! I think she would have liked them.

Fun Pictures...

Showing off his two little teeth... Looks like one of the guys in the dorm studying for finals! Playing in a basket... Wyatt was fast asleep on Scott's lap! Scott loves to hold him and put him to bed! What a great daddy!

Being Transparent...

I was reading in my "mommy" devotional this morning and it was talking about being transparent with people, especially moms. I have felt or am feeling almost everything that she mentions in the book. No one ever told me that becoming a mom would be so lonely... Or that you couldn't let people know that you were "not having a good day"... That you didn't have to have a "happy face" even when you were feeling down... Or that you could have "down days"... Although I would NEVER trade my son for anything in this world, it is so lonely, and there are bad days. There are days that you feel like you are the only person in the world because you have not seen anyone but your child that day (and your husband) Please don't take this the wrong way, I love my family, I would do anything for them... I also know that being a new mom, I don't know how to balance my personal life very well yet. Before Wyatt was born I worked full-time, ever since I was 16 and could work! I thought I would have Wyatt and then 6 weeks later return to work. I know this is a very wrong opinion but I didn't ever see myself as a stay-at-home-mom. After getting over the "baby-blues" I realize that this is where I need to be, this is where I want to be. I have been enjoying so much staying at home with Wyatt and being able to see him do his funny everyday things that I would have otherwise missed! For me, this is right. Goodness...I said ALL that to ask this. How do I get back into things? How do I have a "social" life again? I know that all moms don't stay in their house all day...that they can do things with friends that they have things in common with, how do I find that? I have always just made friends, with a baby it is different because a lot of my friends do not have children? I have never been this transparent in my life! I really feel like if more people or women in this case, would be open and transparent we could learn so much from each other. So I am being transparent and asking for your advise!

Baby Conversation...

What I imagine Payton and Wyatt talked about on Sunday...

Fish, Fish and More Fish...

Scott went deep sea fishing last Saturday and this was what he caught! I am not one for eating to much fish but the Mahi Mahi was wonderful, Scott cooked it. And so was the Spanish Makrel. Yummm...

Playing in Mommy and Daddy's bed...

I put Wyatt in our bed, put pillows around him and gave him a toy to play with for a little while in the morning. He played and played, and then he got kind of sleepy!

Bathtime...

Wyatt grinning for the camera (this is his "fake" smile) His favorite facial expression this week! Loving his bathtime...

More Fall Pictures...

Little Dude at the end of the day...sleepy! Scott coming back with Wyatt from getting some candy... Wyatt and Payton had fun together and looking at their costumes. He is so cute...

Wyatt's First Trick-or-Treat

We had so much fun with Wyatt this year. We don't go trick-or-treating usually but there was someone who set up "trunk-or-treat" on Campus where it was safe for the children. Thank you for that! Wyatt was a little girraff, he didn't seem to mind his costume. Getting ready to go trick-or-treating... A cute family picture... Daddy and Wyatt...best buddies!

Amish Friendship Bread...

I am baking my Amish Bread that my aunt gave me. I will have 3 starters to give away. Please let me know if you would like one, I think I can keep one going but I don't think I can keep 3 of them going. How confusing!! Anyway, please let me know if you would like one.

Family Fun...
