The weekend recap -- Thanksgiving.

The boys have had a most excellent Thanksgiving break. The weather has been wonderful and we have taken long walks every day, trying to take advantage of it while we can.
The boys were very disappointed that the Cats blew it against Tennessee, but they wore their hats with pride any way. Who would have thought that the season would have gone as well as it did? And we still have a bowl game to look forward to. And, even better -- basketball season is ready to start in earnest.
Aunt Kathy dropped by on Saturday and immediately pronounced Griffith to be "fat" which made him laugh out loud. She also got to witness a full-on temper tantrum when he decided that his (second) lunch was late. She laughed and laughed and laughed. I think I heard her say something about revenge being sweet. I'm not sure what she meant by that, but I think she is implying that our pride and joy is just a little bit of a handful. Still you have to respect someone who knows his own mind like Grif and manages to convey it so clearly. He can pretty much roll over at will these days and scoots all over the place. He still wakes up happy as a clam and jabbers all the time. Flora swears that he says 'hi' (he does say something close) and that he said "da" today (which I refuse to accept -- it would be very ungrateful of him to do so.)
Allan has been doing just great since his surgery. His eye looks better every day and his belly doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. He still isn't eating much better, but we have been wearing him out with doctor's visits and walks and such. He did eat quite a bit yesterday for his dad -- who was feeding Griffith at the time. Allan kept watching and squawking and would suck down Griff's bottle any time his dad offered it - which then caused Griff to squawk. The two are going to be a little jealous, we're afraid. Still, Allan is a little love bug and snuggles down any chance he gets. He watches his brother when Griff is doing all of this talking and moves his mouth like he is trying to figure out how to answer him. Good luck getting a word in edgewise.
We have doctors' appts and work and immigration appointments today and Wednesday so it may be a while before we post. Enjoy the pictures!
