I can almost sit in my Bumbo chair like a big boy!
Doesn't Thatcher look like he could eat Emerson?
Thatcher and his giant weenie dog from Uncle Bubba...hilarious!
Mimi and ThatcherWell, we have somewhat recovered from our Christmas holiday traveling. We began our festivities by making the trip to Lubbock for a few days before Christmas. Thatcher did awesome, we only had one meltdown and stopped once to feed him in Abilene. We arrived and settled in and then the next day drove to Denver City. My Mimi got to see Thatcher for the first time, it was a wonderful day spent with her. We also saw my aunt and uncle and visited some dear friends of mine, Betty and Edgar, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. Uncle Bubba flew in the next day, we haven't known what to do with ourselves getting to see him so much lately...we can't get enough!
We visited our friends Michelle and Brett who just had a baby 3 or so weeks ago, Emerson is such a cutie. Another night while in town, I squeezed in a quick chat with a high school friend of mine, Molly and her daughter Zoe...we had wanted to hang out a little more, but we weren't there long enough...we'll be back soon, Mol!
We drove back to Dallas, spent the night, and then got up the next morning and drove to Shreveport to visit Jeff's family. By this time, Thatcher thinks he is from now on living in his carseat...he still did great though. He was such a trooper...Jeff and I were more beat down by the traveling than he was. We decided we will not do that kind of crazy distance again...family may have to start visiting us at the holidays when our boy gets older and knows who Santa is, etc. We received all kinds of goodies and Thatcher made out like a bandit...he's already spoiled and he doesn't even know what presents are yet...ahhhhhhh!! Anyways, we were so blessed to be able to have the time off to go and visit family.
In other news, I go back to work a week from tomorrow...I am very sad, but am so thankful that I am able to work part-time and have a great child care situation. It will be great to see everyone at work, I have missed seeing all the friends I have made at Childrens over the past almost 5 years that I have worked there!! I'm going to sign off now...Jeff and I have put the boy to bed and plan on ringing in the New Year around 10pm with a champagne toast for two! Happy 2008 everyone!

Mitzi, what a cutie your boy is! My three are getting so big. I was in DC from the 22nd til 29th. I wish I could have caught a glimpse of you. We have to make plans for a 15-year reunion since the 20-year is so long off. Or, better yet, how about a 12-year next year? ha. Sure miss seeing you. Thatcher is a cutie. Enjoy your last week off. Our 9-year anniversary is the 2nd, so it's a great year already. Happy New Year. I'm trying to get these wild boys to bed! We're way off schedule. Love you!

Hi Mitzi!! I came across your blog the other day and thought "is this the Mitzi I used to work with at Children's?" and today when I saw in your post that you are going back to work at Children's I knew it was you! How have you been? Good it looks like! Thatcher is such a cutie!!
We plan on moving back to Dallas in a year when Mick is done with school, so hopefully we will get to work together again! Check out my blog....
