Somewhere in my mind I’m laughing at the fact that Amzie and Mina were both born on floating holidays: Amzie, being the joker, was born on Labor Day, and Mina, being the one to do things in her own sweet time, was born near enough to Thanksgiving that I’m sure her birthday will land on it at some point.
This Thanksgiving was very peaceful, and we were super thankful to have Peter’s mom and dad here! They rocked the house by doing all kinds of awesome yard work and cooking a feast for a small army…which we’ve been eating ever since (and are very thankful for not having to cook!!!). We even managed to deep fry a turkey this year, which freed up the oven for the rest of the food. Once we figured out how to set the thing up (no instructions were included), things went pretty quickly. And oooh, was it good.
Amzie spent the morning in her fort with Tibby, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and the dog show, and telling us how bored she was, while Mina learned all about stuffed teddy bears. Amzie’s been a great help in the cuddle department with her sister, even if Mina’s cord stump totally grossed her out (“Mom, it looks like a raisin. It’s disgusting!”).
As with any baby, she changes every day – here are some photos of her from the last few days.
