November

The first part of the month took us to Alabama for a visit with Jaimie's mother and his daughter, Jessi. We hadn't seen Jessi since June of this year and his mother hadn't seen Berik since January 2007. She was really happy to see him again. He loves his sister and insists on laying on top of her whenever possible, especially to watch TV. Jessi is very sweet and tolerate which we love!
When we first started talking about going to Alabama, a 10 hour car ride, I was leary but once I saw the price of airline tickets I decided we could do it. Let me be the first to brag on Berik. He and I sat in the back and he was a SAINT!!!!!!! all the way there and all the way back. Jaimie and I jokingly asked each other who's kid we had with us. Furthermore, he was soooooooo good the entire time we were visiting. He didn't break anything, tear anything up, cry, whine or fuss . We were so so so proud of his behavior. Normally he acts like a typical 2 yr and gets into everything. He is 100% BOY !
We took him to Gulf Shores beach, which was his first trip ever to the beach. Although it was slightly cool he loved it. He could not understand that is was too cold and just had to get in the water. He was one wet sandy boy we he got finished. We hope to visit again during the summer.
Berik is growing up so and each day brings changes here and there but one constant is the cuteness of a sleeping Berik. He can sleep almost anywhere and as you can see in any position, and with any assortment of pillow, blankets and or animals. This months artwork isn't all that fancy but I am sure he is having fun doing it. Jaimie had to work Thanksgiving day so Berik and I went to a good friend of ours to feast. Jaimie did catch up with us as we were starting dessert. Good time to get in on things in my opinion!
Berik had fun playing with this scooter! He had never seen nor riden one and he did very well. I think a scooter may be in his future, ooohhh Santa!!!! The older kids were nice and played roll the ball with him and of course he had lots of fun at that too. All in all a good month and a Happy Thanksgiving!
