Happy Thanksgiving! Wow how quickly these little things grow and develop and grow up! Jaden is now 5 months old and had a wonderful 1st Thanksgiving with some of our family members. Dad, Mom and Jaden headed back east to NY to attend the Wright family reunion in Syracuse, visit Mom's childhood friend Bethany, visit the Morris's - Mom's Moms side of the family, and the Pietraszewski's Mom's Dads side of the family. Jaden had a wonderful time and had her first experience with Western NY weather - (although our 2nd day there was a beautiful blue sky day). Jaden first spent some time with Grandpa Paul P. Then et her Great Grandma Morris, met some cousins of Mom's, and had dinner with the Morris family. Jaden showed of her voice skills at Great Grandma Morriss when she met the stuffed doggie - she loves doggies!!! It was wonderful to see Bethany, Mommies childhood friend, and to meet her 3 kids, and talk to her about her own business ! Mommy is so proud of her bestest friend and so happy for her. Then Mommy, Daddy and Jaden drove from Liberty NY to Syracuse to meet Uncle Dave and Aunt Annie and the Wright family !! Wow - there was too much fun to even stand. Uncle Dave and Aunt Annie LOVED baby Jaden, so did everyone else!! Mommy and Uncle Dave even got to go for a special run together - that was great fun other than they got rained on! Jaden even got to go swimming in the big grown up pool!! Her first swim! Then we had a wonderful Thanksgiving meals together as the Wright family. Beth and Joe invited us over to there house a number of times, which was wonderful - Jaden had fun and she especially liked their new dog Copper. We got to see Aunt Paul, Uncle John, Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Mike, Aunt Pat, litte baby Margaret and the list goes on. Some group photos were taken, but have not been sent yet - shucks... Jaden tried her first bite of blueberry pie (ok blueberry juice in the pie) - YUM. .She loved pie juice!! Whew - what a trip! We are all glad to be back home in Colorado, where we are now getting some snow and we can concentrate on relaxing and getting better from our little cold we all caught. Jaden is about 14 lb at 5 months and growing like a champ! Next adventure solid foods and more sleep training ! Wish us well !!!
