Mimi and Auntie Daria

Mom and Daria came up last week for Carter's birthday and to celebrate an early Thanksgiving. Carter spiked a high fever the 2nd day they were here :( He was so pitiful, but so cute with his little mask on in the dr's office that I couldn't resist taking his picture...The fever stayed for 3 days but never progressed into anything else, praise the Lord! We did have to delay his birthday party a few days since he woke up with a fever on his birthday, but as you can see from the earlier post, it didn't keep him from having a happy birthday!

Getting some sympathy love from big sis

Hudson and his roomie, Auntie Daria. Carter gives up his bed and Daria sleeps in the boys' room with Hudson when she comes to visit us. So cute this time because Hudson started saying her name!! It's so exciting when they are first starting to try and communicate!!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with them a week early since we didn't go back to GA this year. My second time to host (1st was when Carter was 3 days old...thankfully Mom and Daria did all the cooking that year which allowed me to go from the couch to the table straight back to the couch! Love family!!) We had quite a spread this year, and enjoyed every bite. One of my favorite meals of the whole year!! So thankful for each one around this table. Blessed beyond measure...

My little stairsteps. Wouldn't want it any other way!

The Wilks girls :)

Mom gave Carter a Spiderman bike for his birthday! He was super excited and wanted to ride it immediately! So we took a quick spin down to the Robinson's and back. Carter thought he was SO BIG that he could ride just like Kate...

Look at him go!!

Here is our Japanese maple in the front yard. It was stunning this year, and I'm so glad I got this picture because two days later, the weather turned yucky and all the leaves fell off. But wasn't it GORGEOUS?!
