We hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. All is well with our two little turkeys! They enjoyed their first Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and LOVED it. Both Ella and Blake joined us at the table for turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy.
They are growing like weeds! We can hardly believe just a few short months ago they were barely five lbs and now they're close to 16 or 17 lbs. We'll go to the doctor shortly before Christmas for their six month chec-up, but as far as we can tell they are growin' strong!
There are new pics posted here from November and also from our first trip to see Santa. Santa was a major hit! Neither one of them cried or even gave the slightest hint of not liking the big guy in red. We hope to get some "official" Christmas pics soon and I'll post them as well.
Happy Holidays to all!
Love,
The Bushey's

We'll Miss You, Judy
We just wanted to take a minute to say good-bye to our dear family friend Judy. She loved our babies and we were so glad she got to meet them and hold them before passing away earlier today. We love you, Judy and will miss you so much.
We've Been Busy!
First of all, I'm so sorry for the lack of posts. I went back to work full time and since then have had very little time to "play" on the computer. :o)
Ella and Blake are both doing wonderfully. As you can see from the new pictures, they are growing like weeds. Ella was weighed yesterday is now a whopping 14 lbs 13 oz. They didn't weigh Blake, but we suspect he's just about the same. He's definitely caught up to his sister. 3-6 month clothes just fit, but everything we're buying now is 6-9 months and they fit, too! Both Blake and Ella are eating food now and loving it (as you'll see in a few pics). We usually have a veggie and a fruit mid to late afternoon with some juice, and then some oatmeal at bedtime. The best part is both little ones SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT! They both go down around 8:00 every night, then Blake sleeps until 5ish and goes back down until 8ish and Ella sleeps right on through until 7:00 or 8:00 every morning. It's heavenly for Mom and Dad!
I started working about a month ago for Bentley High School as the librarian and I love it. I didn't intend on going back to work quite so full time, but the opportunity came along so I took it. I'm not sure how long I'll be there (the previous lady quit and they're still determining whether they'll fill it permanently or not because of budget issues), but until they decide what they're doing I'll be there. I hope it lasts until the end of the year because I'm really enjoying it a lot. I'm still coaching and loving it as always!
Brian is keeping busy with work and of course it's now hunting season so he take every opportunity he gets to go hunt. Unfortunately it's not quite as often as before, but he's still managing to get a fair amount of time in. He's already looking forward to the day he can take Blake with him. (Mom says Ella can't go!)
Drake is also doing well. He's getting a little annoyed with having to be quiet when the babies are asleep, but he too is looking forward to them growing up and being able to play!
I think that's all the updating I can think of for now. As you can see in the pictures, they're growing fast and getting more fun every single day.
Take Care!
Love,
The Bushey Clan
