The next day we headed north to Oklahoma City. We went to the awesome children's science museum, stayed overnight in a hotel, and then went to the Oklahoma City Zoo the next day. It was a great little weekend with my family, and it was so nice to get out of town for a little while!

Oklahoma
We got to spend Thanksgiving in Oklahoma with some great friends and we had such a wonderful time. (Half of our group were transplants from Staten Island!) We played, ate delicious food, enjoyed a nice walk in the beautiful weather, and stayed up late. I have so many things to be thankful for, and it was a great day.

The Four of Us

Matthew is busy drawing pictures of superheroes and transformers, making lots of explosion sounds all the time, and growing out of his clothes. He is thriving in school and is doing really well with reading and writing. He loves being helpful and earning rewards and teaching Anna all the things he learns at school.
Anna is busy wishing she went to school like Matthew, making me pack her a lunch to carry around in her backpack, and practicing writing her name. She helps me with all of my projects and kind of likes to be in charge. She is always singing songs at the top of her lungs and changes her clothes 10 times a day.

Joseph is busy doing root canals, paperwork, and presentations. He is really enjoying his work and has gotten some great hands on experience. He can't tell me about anything he does in the clinic because I get all queasy once he mentions shots or cutting anything. He is home for dinner every night and can even come home for lunch if he wants! Amazing!
I am busy crossing things off my to-do list that have been there for years, planning weekly singing time activities for Primary, and of course, sewing. Joseph is trying to teach me how to drive a stick shift, which is really hilarious and embarrassing. I ran a 10k race yesterday with my friend* and cut more than three minutes off my time from last year!
*Did you know we only live one hour away from our great friends that left NYC last year? We can bribe them to cross the border from Oklahoma to Texas occasionally, and vice versa.

Sisters

I am lucky to have two wonderful sisters. We get along so well and I love talking to them about books, fashion, food, crafts, and anything else. I love being with them and I miss them when we are apart.

It is so fun that we have now brought three guys into the family that get along great with each other and finally help even out the odds for my dad.



I'm so thankful for my sisters, and for all the memories we share. I love that we can give each other advice and encouragement and pass on the things that we have learned. And I'm so glad I have wonderful sisters-in-law who have welcomed me into their family and who I love spending time with!
(my mom made all of our wedding dresses!)
p.s. Robin just posted her wedding pictures on her blog and they are lovely!
