Veterans Day



Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~

Today is Veterans Day .... it occurs every November 11th and it's a federal holiday to celebrate and honor those who have served in the armed forces.  You two have lots of relatives who have served in the armed forces! 

This morning, we relaxed at breakfast as a family.  Then, we made our grocery list for the week, got ready, and did an early grocery run to Target.  You both ate some cookies while there.  ;-)  We looked at some Christmas trees.  We may get a big one for the living room later.  :-)

We were home before lunch and Grace fell asleep.  We cooked hotdogs and you two ate once Grace woke up.  Then, we got some chores done around the house.  We did laundry, changed the air filters, changed the light bulb in the hallway over the stairs, called and left a message for Pan for haircuts for you two, put away clothes that we were bagging earlier, and we put up the small Christmas tree that we have up in the play room.  I know it's early, but you two like the lights.  :-)

We had little time to play and watch a Mickey Mouse episode before the UNC basketball game.  Joshua, you got cranky from no nap.  I finally got you down and snoring by 4:15pm!  Grace, you rested next to Joshua and myself.  Daddy folded the laundry and watched the end of the game .... we won!

Mimi and Grandpa Mike came over a little after 5pm.  I had to wake Joshua.  We went out to eat dinner around the corner.  Joshua did pretty well with his mac and cheese.  Grace, you didn't eat much.  Once we got home, you both wanted crackers.  Why don't you two eat dinner at dinner time?  Ugh.  :-P

This evening we all relaxed.  My stomach didn't feel well, so I was glad to just lay down with you all.

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
