Braden has had a lot of stuff going on this month. He is eating veggies now and loving them. He went to the doctor to get his second shot for synagis and on that day, Nov. 17, he weighed 15 pounds 9 ounces. It seems to me like the veggies and ceral are staring to take effect on him. He is drinking 4 ounces of fruit juice everyday now and he drinks that so fast that he has to stop to breathe. He is doing great, he is talking up a storm and he almost can say "dada." i am a little upset about that but hey, what ever he wants to say is ok with me.

Braden went to his first motorcross this weekend. Well he did not stay outside, he stayed in a big motor home with none other than Grandma Shirley, Aunt Amber and Big Bad John, one of his best buddies. They had a great time and I was relived that he was with them.

Steve and I went to my sisters 30th birthday party Saturday night (HAPPY 30TH AUNT CLARA) and Braden went with Grandma Shirley. This was the first time since last October 2004 that Steve and I had been OUT with ADULTS for a party. I swear we have not smiled and laughed as much as we did in a long time. We danced and talked and had a great time for once since our lives had been turned upside down we were husband and wife again, we were together and it felt great to have that feeling back. Or course I called a few times to call and check on Braden but I knew he was in good hands!

Braden' great grandma had a birthday on November 18 HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAN!! We wished we could have been there to celebrate with you. But we will have plenty of time for that.

Braden also has a new cousin. Stephanie, Steve's sister, and her husband John had a baby on Nov. 16. Jude was born in Thailand where they are living to do missonary work. Mom and baby are both fine and at home. Welcome Jude!! We cannot wait to see him.

This Thursday is Thanksgiving and boy do we have alot to be thankful for this year. We will be at home where our familes will come and eat with us and of course watch the Dallas Cowboys play. But on this Thanksgiving we will have a heavy heart for the babies and their families at NICU at Baylor in Dallas... and all babies in NICU's across the world. We will give thanks to the staff at Baylor, just as we do everyday, but more on this day, we will thank all of you reading this. If not for your thoughts, prayers, cards, phone calls and all other wonderful things you have done for us, we would not have made it this far. So with that we wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you are all safe and with the ones you love.
