Thanksgiving Holiday Fun

We had a great week last week with family during the Thanksgiving holidays.  We did alot of eating, laughing and spending quality family time together. Ashley's favorite foods were shrimp and soft pretzels - your typical Thanksgiving food, ha.ha.  We did have our follow-up doctor's appointment for Ashley last Wednesday and since she is doing so well now, she has been scheduled for her biopsy surgery on December 7th.  At that time, we should finally have the real story of what is going on in her colon and then be able to schedule any additional surgery to repair the issues once and for all!  In the meantime, she continues to gain weight and nutritional strength with a temper and personality that is quickly becoming strong and mighty!!!  

Today was also Ashley's first big day at Goddard school and my first day back at work again.  We started the day bright and early as a family at 5:00 a.m.!!! Surprisingly, everyone but Ashley is still alive and going strong; Ashley was down for the count by 7:00 tonight.  We took some pictures of her with her Dora lunchbox (all ready to go with the boys this morning) but unfortunately, they didn't turn out so well, so we'll try again tomorrow.  It appears that all went well for her today, except that she didn't eat much lunch.  Probably too much going on and everything is so new. 

Because we have all slept so much today (not!), the boys and Dad are finishing off the evening with a Wii Game-a-thon.  We haven't played in months, but they just played Wii bowling with their cousins over the weekend, so we dusted off our own games to get back in shape.  

We hope that everyone had a great holiday, too!
