The Drake Family
The newest additions!!! All the Drake greatgrandchildren with Grandma
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. The three of us were able to be home together for 4 days. It was awesome. Jon flew in Thanksgiving morning, and then we went back home and met Grammi and Papa for breakfast and then drove up to Winston Salem to be with the Drake family. I don't know the exact total for how many people were at the table, but including the babies, I think there were over 20! We had great food and had fun being together.
Joey has had some very minor health concerns. He's had 2 right ear infections back to back in the past 3 weeks. He had a reaction to his meds (amoxicillon) for his first one, so now he is considered allergic to all drugs in that family. But so far, he seems to be making improvements with the new medicine.
We've had a busy few weeks here at the Drake hotel. Lots and lots of visitors!! I was so happy to have everyone come and visit. I know they all loved being with Joey and spending time with him. Thank you all for coming! It really added to our time of Thanksgiving.
Joey has one tooth officially! I think more are soon to follow. He also has mastered sitting up on his own!! And he is doing great. He has a toy, Baby Einstein, that he just loves. He gets in it for sometimes 45 minutes at a time and just plays!! The seat bounces, so all you have to say is, "Bouncy, bouncy" and he knows exactly what to do and starts bopping up and down!
Please pray for us as we are still in limbo for our location after Jonathan gradutes in mid January. He's submitted his resume to numerous places. We are praying that we know something in the next few weeks. We only have about 6 weeks until he is done. These 6 months have really flown by.
What a tremendous year the Lord has blessed our family with. We are so excited to see what God has in store for us over the next few months. We will keep you guys posted!
Love to you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
