Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving this year looked a little funky for us.  I was laid up in bed with a horrible case of strep for 3+ days.  After emerging from my cocoon of sickness, we headed over to Grammy's for a belated Thanksgiving dinner.  And our darling littles busted out some costumes Grammy had picked up.  Too much fun.  These kids are our sunshines.

A Bus Ride

Little Miss Iz has been asking to ride a bus since last Halloween (when we rode one for about two minutes as shuttle at Boo at the Zoo).  So Daddy planned a bus ride extravaganza.  We walked to the bus stop near Pound Middle School, grabbed the 12:15 bus and headed downtown.  Izzie was SO excited.  We sat in the front row, and she was commenting on everything.  "Mommy!  The bus stops at stop lights, too?!?  Why are we going this way?  Why is HE getting the bus?"  Levi loved it as well.  A half hour later, we were downtown.  We walked to Dickey's for some delicious lunch.  Levi had lemonade for the first time, and also insisted he dip everything in ketchup like his sister.  A walk back to the bus stop, and we came back home.  Such a fun, simple day!

My Funny Boy

Levi's personality is coming out more and more, and he is so delightful.  He is sweet and funny, with a little streak of naughty.  He's keeping us on our toes.  And we continue to realize how much smarter he is than he lets on.  He knows how to work every single one of us (especially Izzie!) to get what he wants. 

"Let me just climb in here and see what this is about..."

Meyers were over for the evening.  All the other kids were downstairs,
and we found Levi in the living room watching shows in peace.

Still with the smushy face.  I hope he has it forever.  

He LOVES books more and more.  Watch out if you look the least bit available -
he will drop in your lap and hand you a book before you even know what happened.

His faces are hilarious.  I don't even know what he's doing here. 

He always has a ducktail after sleeping.

Levi is starting to fight back when Izzie gives him a hard time.  Just yesterday, she laid on the floor in front of his ride-on truck so he couldn't go anywhere.  He tried shrieking for awhile, but when that didn't work he got off his truck and sat on her.  I laughed so hard!
