Give Thanks to our Veterans
My Grandfather, (left), Nestor Hansen, served in the military along with my other Grandfather, Jack Penniall. Brett's Grandfather, Louis Karmas, Pop, we call him, will be 90 years old next year is also a WWII Vet. He received a Silver Star in WWII. No doubt it is the greatest generation. Brett's uncle Jimmy served in Vietnam along with my stepfather. Words cannot express how grateful I am that you are all in my life. Grandpa Nestor and Grandpa Jack, I miss you! I know you're up there smiling down on me:) I am thinking of them all today, and all of our troops throughout the world. Especially, my cousin Alex, who is in Iraq right now.
Our little prodigy
On Saturday night Brett, Vaughan and I went out to dinner with my Mother-in-law and Father-in-law for my Mother-in-law's birthday. Vaughan was sitting in a high-chair and eating her life away when I nice gentleman walked over and said, "Is this your son?", both Brett and I spoke up, "No, it's our daughter." and he said, "My Mother worked with children for many years, and I believe that you may have a prodigy on your hands." Brett and I both kinda laughed, and he said, "No, I am very serious, she is so aware of her surroundings and so very active." He also asked about out heritage and nationality. Not sure why, a little weird, but having a stranger come and tell me that about MY child made me feel SOOOO incredible. I am still on cloud nine from it.
My Little Bruiser
Vaughan is really turning out to be a bruiser! She has her bottom teeth in now (I need to get a pic of her two-toothed smile, HILARIOUS!). She's crawling at mock speed, pulling herself up on stuff and standing!!!!! I went in to get her out of bed the other day and she was STANDING UP holding on to the rails. She NEVER sits still. She doesn't want to sit in the bathtub anymore, she wants to stand! She tries to pull herself up out of the tub. Maybe we should try a shower?:) She's a total nut!!! She already has bonked her head a few times, only cries if it's a really good one. Oh, and now when I tell her NO, NO, not to bite, she smiles. She thinks I am being funny apparently. She laughs at Brett when he says NO. If this is a sign for times to come, we're in some deep DOO DOO!!
