For Thanksgiving this year we talked Daniel's parents into coming down here. They spent the weekend before Thanksgiving with us which was a lot of fun and busy, busy. Then they went up to Dallas to visit Daniel's sister Ashley and her husband for a few days.
Here are the boys playing "chase" under the table while Staucie was finishing her lunch. Bensen loves to play chase. He giggles and laughs the whole time. He stops and turns around to make sure whoever is chasing him is still coming. It is pretty cute, especially when it is Staucie or Parker playing with him.
On Sunday night (the week of Thanksgiving) or early Monday morning at 2am, Parker woke up crying. He was having hard time breathing and it sounded like croup again. We kept him in our bed for a couple hours listening to him breath and trying to decide if he needed to go to the ER. At about 4:30am he sounded a little better so we put him back in his bed and he went to sleep. I was feeling sick too so Daniel stayed home from work. We ended up taking both boys to the doctor after we went shopping for our Thanksgiving food. It was a crazy, horrible day.Both boys ended up on a breathing machine and getting shots of steroids. Parker also got oral steroids to take for a few days and Bensen had an ear infection. Daniel went to work the next day and the kids and I had fun doing 4 breathing treatments x 2 a day.
Anyways, the coughing won't go away, especially for me. It is really wearing me out.
Here is Parker.
We called it his DRAGON and he was a good sport about it.
It took about 15 minutes for each treatment.Bensen would only sit there if I gave him his pacifier.
Otherwise, he would kick and scream.

Grandma helped the kids make a bed by the back door on the dirty mat :)
Thanksgiving Dinner!With Grandpa Lees, Uncle Brad, Aunt Ashley, Grandma Lees, and us.
It was a great meal if I do say so myself. Of course, I just cooked what I wanted to eat :)

Grandpa and Grandma Lees.We miss you already.
Thank you for coming to see us and for all you do for us. We had a blast. We saw New Moon, went shopping, took a drive down to Galveston to see the beach, and to Kemah to see the boardwalk, played games, ate lots of food, and enjoyed hanging out together. We are sad it is over and gone. We love you and thanks for loving us!

We had so much fun with y'all in Texas!!!! I miss those kiddies so much. Hope y'all (like my accent?) are feeling better every day!! Thanks for the wonderful Thanksgiving feast and for the great time. Can't wait for the next time to see you. Hopefully it won't be too far away.
toni, i knew you had your hair done...it is really cute...i like it alot. thanksgiving was really quiet at our house...i missed having lots of people...but it was still nice.
Bensen's hair is so cute those curls are getting longer. I'm so excited to see you guys and to play at the cabin with everyone.
MOM, I am so happy to see a comment from you :)
So sorry about the breathing treatments - those are so hard, especially when you do it through the night! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and got to spend it with family. Toni is lookin' hot as a blonde!
Sounds like a fun Thanksgiving, except for the being sick part. If you don't have a humidifier you can always turn on a hot shower and sit in the bathroom with your kids. That's what my mom always did if we had a hard time breathing.
Karin and Christen, thanks for your blonde comments. I asked the new girl to cover the gray - and I turned blonde! I guess I had more gray than I thought. ha It was more than I wanted but Larry loves it - of course! Stinkin' men. j/k
i miss you guys! We had lots of fun and i'm glad i got to hug and squeeze your kids. i love them! Thanks for making all the food and having us eat it all!
Sheena, I am so sad that you had to go through all that with your kids being sick, and you too! That's so sad. I hope you are all feeling better. I love all the pictures, and can't believe how different Bensen is since we saw him. He is so cute!
Gramps and I are so sorry those two cute little boys were so sick with breathing problems...croup or do they have asthma? We love them & Staucie and miss them so much. Toni, this is the first picture of you I have seen for awhile, and both Dad and I like your blonde hair very much. Dad said your hair color is more like it used to be (naturally)......like Christen said, you are a "hot blonde."
Toni - if you are reading this, I like your hair, too. It makes you look younger. Maybe I should go blonde, too! :)
Yes, let's all go blonde!!!
