December already!

It's hard to believe it is December already. We had a quiet Thanksgiving, but it was nice. We were supposed to go visit my Uncle Bob and Aunt Diane but Jeremy got really sick the Monday before Thanksgiving and we didn't want to get anyone else sick so we stayed home and had a small dinner for just us. It's just as well because we have all been on again off again sick for the past two weeks :P The boys are still amazing me with their imaginations and observation skills. Last night Jonathan (17 months old!) grabbed a diaper off the floor (Daddy took it off of him before bath time and was still trying to get kiddos dried off so had not had time to put it in the diaper pail) and walked it from the bathroom to the bedroom and over to the diaper pail and shoved it in the little hole, turned the lid and threw away the diaper. We have never asked him to do that before and didn't even know he knew how. The other day he wanted in Mommy's lap, but she was at the table on the computer. No problem, he picked up a step stool, walked over with it and put it in front of my chair, climbed up on it and climbed into my lap. Pretty scary when our 17 month old is already problem solving and learning from his older brothers. He still looks too small to be doing any of that! as of two weeks ago he still didn't weigh 20 lbs!
Our adoption paperwork is almost complete now! Lord willing, we will be able to start the Homestudy process in January! wohoo! please continue to keep us in your prayers!
