Thanksgiving

We drove down to visit Grandma and Grandpa Stone for Thanksgiving.  It about 6 hours to get there, since we had to pull over several times to nurse and change diapers.  Still, Bethany slept most of the way and the girls were happy with their portable DVD player.   Towards the end of the trip Bethany got fussy, so I gave her a pacifier for the first time (I really don’t like to use them, but I make a rare exception when I can’t take her out of the car seat to comfort her).   It kept her occupied for about a half hour, before the inevitable protestation that she wasn’t getting any milk from it.  Luckily, by that time we had just pulled into the driveway.  

 

We stayed in the little guest house that Grandma and Grandpa had set up for Uncle Tim and his family when they were on furlough from China.   Grandpa had gotten Aunt Barocha and Uncle Caleb a Wii for Christmas, and decided to break it out early for the kids to play with.  Eva and Amanda had a blast playing baseball, frisbee, fencing, and pretending to row canoes with the little Wii controllers.
