Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone once again. It is kind of bittersweet as this holiday passes us by, but all the more exciting in the passing of this holiday is the time we get to spend with family. Our family gathered this year at the home of Jason's sister and her husband Trevor, it had been a bit since we had seen them and it was a joy to get to gather together as a family again. Trevor made 2 wonderful turkey breasts, Jamaican jerk, and bacon and herb....yummy. We had mashed potato casserole and homemade cranberry sauce, we also had yummy green beans and honey baked ham. All of the food was wonderful especially the pecan and pumpkin pie. Trevor's sister also made the best crock pot macaroni and cheese that I have ever had.
It was an odd occasion this year that I did not cook or bake anything to contribute to the Thanksgiving feast, I had oral surgery on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and was pretty much out of it until the big day. No, I did not plan the surgery it was actually a surprise so I was very much disappointed in not getting to do any baking. But everyone did a great job and even though I wasn't supposed to I did eat alot, and not just the soft stuff. SHHHH....don't tell Dr. Gallup. In all seriousness we as a family hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A Rainy November Afternoon



Last week we had a very rainy week. We were considering the idea of building an ark, or at least a row boat to get from the house to the car. Jason did a great job of keeping us warm in the damp weather, we had a fire almost all day every day for those cold wet days. After our outside cats being OUTSIDE for 3 days Jason decided to give our oldest and largest kitten a reprieve and let him come inside and sit in front of the fire. Levi hasn't ever been around them much because they have always been "outdoor" pets since he has been born. He absolutely adored Martin and Martin loved all of the pets and attention that Levi was giving him. Eventually he did have to go back outside but we know he is happier out there, except when it is raining.

Barbee Reunion

Every year on the 1st Sunday in November we travel to St. Stephen's Wesleyan Church to gather for the Barbee Family Reunion. We always have such fun, and really enjoy seeing family. Levi is actually the grandson that will carry on the Barbee Family name, that makes us very proud. This year we got to spend some time with Jason's cousin Jackie, who we haven't gotten to see since before Levi was born. Had lots of great food and good fun times talking about the past, and looking forward to the next Barbee Reunion.

Halloween 2009



Levi was a Little Dragon this year for Halloween, this is the 1st year that he got to eat the candy that he was given. He had a lot of fun.


















Amelia Grace was, of course, a princess. She was a big helper with her little brother as we were trick or treating at the mall. She also really enjoyed giving out candy more than getting it.
