Napping...Uncle Dusty Style

Hello all!!! WE survived the Thanksgiving holidays...it was the after thanksgiving holidays that we've been having trouble with! Sorry that it's been FOREVER since I've posted! Ryan, Ty, and I have all been sick as little dogs and I haven't felt like getting on here and posting till today!

I have a TON of pics to post so you'll have to bear with me while I get them all on here! I'm going to bombard you with TY!

The pics here are after Dusty rocked Ty to sleep...he put him in the crib for me. When I went to check on him later I just had to run and get my camera and take a few pics of what Dusty did! Isn't that just cute? He wrapped that stuffed cat's little arm around Ty.

Here's how our Thanksgiving trip went:

• TUESDAY - Ryan, Ty, and I left out for mom and dads!!! Ty was an angel on the drive there! He slept almost the entire time! AND once we got there...he ended up sleeping through the night for me! YIPEE! Don't worry...it just lasted that one night. lol...
• WEDNESDAY - Ryan went hunting with dad and I went over to Jodi and Ryan's house and held little Breanna ALL afternoon *gloat gloat* haha...She's a little doll! That night after church, they had a baby shower for little Breanna, and I hogged her most of the time down there too! haha...well I don't get to see her like the rest of them do so I don't feel bad one little bit!
• THURSDAY - Thanksgiving day was a blast! There were 85 of us and Aunt Deanna's house! All we did was eat and mill around from room to room and fellowship with everyone ALL day long!!! It was great..I wouldn't miss it for the world.
• FRIDAY - Mom, Ty, Jennifer, Kelsey (my sister and niece), and I drove up to northern Ohio to see my Grandma and family!! They had all come over to Grandma's house and we ended up staying up late and getting to get a GOOD visit in with them! Uncle Ron, Aunt Mary, Courtney, Conner, Alex, and Aunt Jeannie all came over! I felt like it was the best thanksgiving yet because of getting to see BOTH sides of my family all in one weekend!
• SATURDAY - Very sad...we buried Uncle Jim today...that was hard. Then we went back to Grandma's and I got to see my Aunt Pat and also my cousin Bobby. We ate lunch and drove BACK home to mom's. Mind you...with stops and all included it's a good six hour drive! Ty did AWESOME! Poor little Kelsey had one break down. She was starving and was in the pits of dispair because we wouldn't stop and get her food. (she wouldn't eat what they had at Grandma's)
• SUNDAY - Church! We had wonderful services...they had me sing "Under His Wings" and sign along with it! Thanks to Ryan (Jo's husband) for playing the piano for me!!! Bro. Donald and Sis. Blanche came down to the house afterwards and ate with us...we stayed for a long time then packed up and headed for home!

To say the least, we had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving.

By the way...pray for Ryan's mom's side of the family...his grandmother passed away early last week.

Welp! All for now...more to come later! Thanks for all your prayers! We seem to be on the uphill climb to recovery now! Love to all! Jessica
