Thanksgiving and more
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. My parents came down from Paradise, and we all went to my grandmother’s for a Thanksgiving buffet. The food was delicious and the best part was that we didn’t have to cook or clean up. Yea! The bad part was that we don’t have any leftovers! ;( Sol wants to go get a turkey just so we can have turkey sandwiches.
Kai was spoiled by Grammy and Grandpa during their time with us. He went on long walks every morning, picking dandelions and watching buses go by.
On Black Friday, we didn’t do any shopping. Instead we all went to Knott’s Berry Farm with the Mayfield clan (good friends from Fresno). It was so fun. Kai LOVED watching the rollercoasters zip by. He would point and say a lot of stuff we don’t yet understand. Then he would wait for the next time it came by. It was so cute. However, when it came time to go on a little ride himself, he didn’t like it very much. Even the carrousel scared him. It was so sad and hopefully won’t scar him for life. He was just happy watching everything. We went to Snoopy’s Cool Christmas on ice, and Kai danced his way through the whole performance. The couple sitting next to us was watching him more than the show (so was I). 🙂 Too cute! It was a really fun day. The Mayfield’s daughter, Cienna, went on her first rollercoaster rides, which is always exciting! I believe her favorite was the Panther.
On Saturday, some friends from college, a couple of whom I haven’t seen in three years, came by to visit. They are from San Diego, Wisconsin and Washington State. It was a lot of fun. They got to meet Kai for the first time, and he stole the show as he always does. It was a fun time of catching up and hanging out.
On Sunday, we hosted a game night at our house. People from church came over and we played a lot of games. It was really fun and uplifting! I love games and our house loves company (it gets clean)! 🙂
That’s about it from here. I just wanted to let you all know how things are going. I have been feeling pretty well. I am tired, have some sores in my mouth and have a lingering rash on my scalp, but really I’m doing pretty well. Some prayer requests would be (1) that the sores in my mouth heal, (2) that my dry skin is soothed (darn those Santa Ana winds), and (3) that Kai sleeps through the night (back in his room). It’s getting better, but he’s not in his crib. He is on the livingroom floor, and Sol has been sleeping on the couch. We figured out that he wakes himself up because he can’t roll over in his crib. He is such a restless sleeper and gets mad that he can’t roll over.
Well that’s about it for now. Take care and God bless.

I’m realizing that I’m not always getting your twitter messages. I didn’t know that Debbie, Kenita and Susanne came down. That was nice. Hope those sores go away soon…that has to be a drag. I used to have a temporary remedy for that (it was used before they ate) ..I can’t find it now but you might want to ask the other patients (that’s who I got the remedy from). The only part I can remember has to do with swishing your mouth with children’s Motrin…but don’t take my memory for it. As for Kai, yes, that was Simone’s problem also. She is such a terrible sleeper and her crib was too confining. So the floor might be the best place for him, for now…until he gets a big boy bed.
