Thanksgiving and more!

Alicia is beginning to look more and more like her daddy!! Every day more people say that she looks like him and less like me.
We had a great Thanksgiving celebrating with Alex's family...I didn't take pictures, but if they send me some I'll post them. Alicia and I were very thankful to have Alex home with us. We really missed him while he was gone. Since he got back it seems that we've been spending a lot of time at the doctor...Alicia was sick last weekend with a bad cold that topped her temp at 102.9...this was enough to give us some sleepless nights and a trip to urgent care. Then she passed it on to her daddy who was dragging through the week and very thankful for the long weekend. I went with friends from church to feed homeless on thanksgiving day while Alicia stayed home to take care of her sick daddy, then we headed to Waldo and Teri's for dinner! It was delicious!! My favorite part was the mashed potatoes. It was a good time, but of course I was really missing my family and my three little nieces!
Here are a few photos that I've taken recently.
Alicia is getting more brave at the park.
Alicia and Sienna are starting to interact more and we are really having fun together. One of our favorite things to do is to empty the box of toys and make a huge mess for me to pick up. (Alicia is now reaching the point where she likes to put stuff in the box...so I'm excited to have a new little helper when it is clean up time.)
This is a picture from Alicia's first dinner that was entirely diced food she was able to feed herself. She is almost entirely on table foods now, and enjoying all the new textures and variety...she absolutely loved the Thanksgiving turkey!!
Alex was home recently on a day I had Sienna, so we were able to throw the girls in the tub together. Alicia thought it was great to have a little naked friend in the bath with her, Sienna was a little less thrilled.

Did you wonder if I'd fallen off the planet? We've been playing the world's longest game of phone tag EVER! I don't have a computer anymore so checking blogs has gotten a bit more complicated, too. Ugh! Most of all, I miss you and wish I could give Alicia a good squeeze. Wonder when you're coming here again????? Love you.
