Happy Thanksgiving!!

Let me start off by saying that Zander (and now Maddox too) have a knack for catching some sort of sickness around any major holiday.  This Thanksgiving was no exception!  Zander caught something at "school" on Tuesday.... started with a cough, added a runny nose, then a 102 fever and limited appetite and we were up with him and his fussy self from Wednesday through today (and his cries for mommy were not planned around M's nursing schedule so this mama is quite tired!)  He has started to feel better and hasn't had a fever since yesterday.  We have kept things "low key" to help him recover quicker and I have watched more "kid television" than I would care to! haha  Maddox has started showing the same symptoms today with major head congestion.... cough, stuffy nose and sneezing.  It is so tough seeing your kids sick especially when you can't do anything to fix it!  Maddox is having a hard time nursing because of the congestion as well.  We have taken both boys to the doctor within the last couple days.  Zander was told to use his nebulizer more frequently and Maddox has saline drops every two hours until this clears up!  Please pray the Houston boys (and their parents) can stay healthy through the next few months of winter and upcoming holiday festivities!  

cuddles with a sick kid... day one of sickness so not too bad yet!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for Thanksgiving! Grandma got extra cuddles with both boys!

Watching the Thanksgiving Day parade!

Starting to feel better

Took both boys to Target to get M a humidifier since we knew he was going to catch this cold eventually.... daddy was at home prepping for our family Thanksgiving meal.

We opted not to travel on Thursday to visit family this year (prior to either boy being sick this was planned).  So, we invited our family to our house on Saturday to celebrate...... it was so wonderful having all of  my relatives and Zack's in one place!  It was also perfect for everyone to meet Maddox and spend time with both our boys!

Zack made two turkeys.... purchased at Harris Teeter so not as much prep work!
