Hi there!!!
What a whirlwind month in the Reeves household! We had a lovely Thanksgiving. Went to my grandmother's house - and got to see my family - and of course, the boys got to play with their Na-Na! Always an adventure! My cousin had her puppy there - a sweet bassett named Lucy - and Camp had a ball playing with her! Too cute watching them run around after each other in Mimi's backyard! LOL! A dog his size! He didn't know what to do with himself.
I hit the malls at 3:30 am for Black Friday - got some good sales. Then we hung out at the house all day with the boys and were just us.
Saturday - we headed to Jason's hometown for his Grandmother's 90th birthday! His mother had organized a surprise reunion - so we had lots of folks we hadn't seen since our wedding. Which was great! The boys were very well behaved - and by the end of the night were just worn out. Andy was being Mr. Charming - and laughing with everyone. Camp had a great time playing fetch with the neighbor's dog - Maggie. We all ate too much, and socialized too much - but that's what you're supposed to do at these, right?
Camp got his GeoTrax from his Grammie in from his birthday. He loves it and carries his Choo Choo around everywhere. Heaven forbid Andy try to touch it! D-Daddy came up this past Sunday and Camp proudly showed off his new golfing skills - which pretty much involve just whacking the poor golf ball in whatever manner works.. We have to start somewhere. He's also realizing what Santa is. We were out to lunch the other day and there happened to be a bearded gentleman sitting at the next table. Camp stared - then quietly leaned over to Jason and pointed and whispered "Santa Claus" - tooooooo cute!
Andy has added "Uh-Oh" to his vocabulary. He now has 4 words - Mama, Dada, Bye Bye - and Uh Oh.. :) He loves the Uh-oh - he's into dropping everything over the edge. The edge of the table (food) the edge of his changing table (toys and socks), the edge of the bathtub - toys... He's soooo close to walking too. Just nooot quite there. I bet he will be by Christmas.
We put our tree up last night, and Jason and I plan on taking a day off work - which we both need desperately - and decorating. I'm a holiday freak - as anyone who knows me can tell you - and I'm really looking forward to dressing the house to the 9's.
Both boys go to the ENT tomorrow. Camp for his post-op appt from his Adnoid surgery - and Andy - well - to see about getting tubes in - bless his heart. He's having tough infections - they aren't wanting to clear up.. so looks like he's getting tubes as well.. sigh. He's also just gotten his eye-teeth in! And - I love it - he's got the same gap in his front teeth as I have! I think he may be dressing like David Letterman next Halloween. LOL!
That's about it for now!

Well - poooor Andy Pandy. I took him to the doctor today for his 1 year visit! The good news - he weighs 25.3 pounds, and is 30 inches tall. His head measures 18! He's in great shape weight and height wise..
Now the bad news - poor Pandy's ear infection didn't clear up. This will now be the 2nd time he's had an ear infection that has required 2 antibiotics.. his 4th infection in 6 months. So - I've got an appt for him to go to the ENT next Wednesday for a consultation about tubes.. You'd think I would be used to this by now - but it scares me to death. He's also got a touch of bronchitis and a new tooth breaking through. And yet - despite all of this - this sweetheart continues to smile and laugh and play. I tell ya - I don't think I could be so stoic.
THEN - he had his shots. Breaks my heart to hear him cry like that. I hate it worse than anything... I know it's for his own good.. really! But man... his darling face looked incredibly wounded. I picked him up and just held him and rocked him for a long time. He finally subsided to a sniffle.
His hemoglobin tested wonderfully though - YAY!
I took him to his school - and they cooed and loved on him. And - we arrived at snack time - so he was very happy to sit and chomp on some cheerios.
Sigh - how much love can one person hold? I am afraid I will never know the answer to that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS!!!!!!!
Camp turned 2 years old on the 6th - I simply can NOT believe it! We had originally scheduled to have his party on the 5th - but he started to run a fever - so we had to cancel it. It was SO cute too!!!! We just postponed the party until this past Saturday, November 11th- and had a combined shindig for both boys! It was fun. Not a lot of my friends showed up - but since the party was a last minute change - I can understand completely. My family was there to help us celebrate - and I think it turned out perfectly! Camp was a maniac - running everywhere and acting shy at times. What a sweetie!
ANDY turns 1 today! HAPPY 1st Birthday Lovebug!! I just cried this morning when he woke up - my sweet baby is not a baby anymore. We're cooking him dinner and his sweet Aunt Shay is coming for dinner - I can't wait! I am just astounded that he's one. Darling, precious boy.
To fill in everything else that has happened..
Camp had his Adnoids out last month and seems to be doing much better. He hasn't had a problem at all. He was hoarse for a few days afterward.. but generally bounced back very well. He went as a duck to Halloween. My LORD he was cute! I brought him to work - and everyone thought he was adorable - which he was! We had his cousin's birthday on the 29th- and both the boys went to that in costume. Andy was smooshy-cute in the bunny costume. He actually really didn't mind the bunny hat at all. Did well wearing it.
Then - the party for the boys! We had it on that Saturday. Much fun! I made 2 cakes - one the cat in the hat "hat" and the other was a darling yellow crown. We ate, played and then had cake. Our friends and family are so generous. The boys got some wonderful presents. Books! Matching outfits for Christmas from their Na-Na. A train. A racetrack. Camp got a new piggie bank from Aunt Shay.. REAL golf clubs from D-Daddy, some precious outfits. And this awesome Tent for Camp from his aunts - and Andy got this really cool Constellation turtle - that projects stars on his ceiling. LOVE it!
And now - Andy's actual birthday is today. I seriously can't believe it. Growing so incredibly fast, my boys.. and every day, my heart grows a little more filled with love for them.
