A little update...

Jolee's granddad passed away Sunday morning. It was sort of expected but still a shock. We received the call Sunday morning right before we left for church. The sermon could not have been more perfect that day. He was such a great person. He was in a nursing home for the latter part of his life for Alzheimer's. But he seemed to always ask about that little blond boy "Ford" everytime Jolee's mom went to see him. We are sad that he never got the opportunity to meet Finlee or our niece Willa, but we know that he is seeing them now as he watches down. He will be missed dearly! Ford will always have a little part of him as they have the same middle name.
On another note, Jolee and I went Santa shopping for the kids Saturday night. My Aunt came and watched the kids. We had a blast. There are so many things that we want to get for the kids, especially Ford. We had so much fun buying him the things he points out daily that he wants. We cannot wait till Christmas morning. We got Finlee a cabbage patch doll and ofcourse some little girl toys since all she has is Ford's baby toys. We wanted to girly it up. We decide to start a tradition for her and get her a cabbage patch doll each Christmas and then take her to the cabbage patch dollland in Cleveland when she is a little older. We are so enjoying watching the relationship between Ford and Finlee grow. He adores her! He will randomly go and talk to her, kiss her, tell her he loves her. It just makes my heart melt. That is the best Christmas present that I could get, knowing he is well adjusted to our precious addition! As for visiting Santa, we went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch the other day and Santa happened to be there. We decided to try and get their pictures done since it was free and see how it went. Finlee did great however Ford cried and cried!!!! We will not be paying to get his pictures done. I have the one from there. I think we may take Finlee and get her "First Christmas picture" with him but Ford said he was done!! HAHA! Such a rough and tumble boy does not like to be with anyone he does not know. He is going through a big mommy phase! I love it! Because Finlee is obsessed with Daddy!!! Anyways, I will post some pictures soon. My sweet husband got me a new camera for Christmas, the professional kind and Iam loving it! I am definitly annoying Ford. He says "Mommy, no more say cheese". But I kep making him smile! He is such a perfect subject!!!
