If one thing is for certain, we are full of emotions this week, forever thankful, and truly blessed as we kick off the holiday season with Thanksgiving. Watching our family grow with our bundle of joy, Jimmy, has been remarkable these last couple months! As we celebrate Thanksgiving, it’s given us a lot of time to reflect and we find it difficult to express in words all that we have to be thankful!
This past week was an exciting one at best, and further emphasizes how grateful we are this holiday season. For those keeping track, Jimmy’s original due date was November 19th, just this past Saturday. It is hard to comprehend how far Jimmy has come these past two months. Before Jimmy’s arrival, one of our goals was to see that he was baptized prior to Christmas and maybe even Thanksgiving. Well, given his early arrival, we were able to meet that goal and celebrate Jimmy’s baptism on November 20th (one day after his expected delivery date 🙂 ). The celebration was certainly special and it was wonderful celebrating James Xavier’s entrance into the Catholic faith. A special thanks goes out to St. Philip Neri for accommodating a private service so as not to expose Jimmy to germs ;).
One other important update…. Jimmy had a super followup at his eye doctor on Wednesday. The hemorrhages they were monitoring are no longer an issue at this time and he won’t have to go through another eye exam for another 10 months 🙂
We know if we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times… we are forever thankful for all of our Family and Friends love and support. From our family to yours, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Love Angie, Jim, Jimmy and Dunder
