"I like turkey"

Thanksgiving was celebrated a little different this year. We went to Nashville to spend the day at my brother in law's (Matt's) parents house. So we were able to see Amanda and Matt while they were in town, it was very nice. We felt very welcome and had a wonderful time. Their house sits on several acres, so little Cyril had a blast being able to run around and play with the boys. He got to swing on the rope swing, and only dipped his legs in the creek...I knew he would get wet at some point! They also played Power Rangers and had sword fights. Cyril also had a chance to collect the chicken eggs, which he passed on, but he did try to feed a chicken out of his hand. He also informed us that he likes turkey, and that was the first food he went for and took a huge bite :) Oh yeah, and I can't forget that Cyril styled his own hair after his shower...his new look is "spikey."

Then on Friday we had Thanksgiving again at my parents house. My sister Beth was in town as well as my cousin Matt. Beth and Matt came over Friday morning to help us put the Christmas lights up on the house. Beth wrangled the boys and Matt helped me with the lights on the bushes and the tree.

Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers for Mark and his family (see previous post). He has been removed from all machines, is breathing on his own, and is only hooked up to an IV. He is still unresponsive and not expected to recover. They say he was down too long without oxygen and therefore has extensive brain damage. I continue to ask for your prayers and hope for a miracle.
