Thanksgiving

Having company is a hoot...and then they leave and suddenly the house is too big, too empty, the kids are too needy, the towels are all dirty, and my pants are tighter than one week of pregnancy can account for. But this morning I went for a walk, continued the laundry that Nathan started yesterday, put all those blasted cookies in the outside freezer (as if that will help), hung a wreath on the front door and sat down for a good 20 minute snuggle on the couch with little Miss Jill (Is there anything better than talking with a two-year old?). The post-company blues are fading away and I'm left with good memories of a week of family fun. Because of Jesus there is so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season and all year long.


Dad and Mom and Alan and Heather and kids made the trek down to San Diego this year. We spent most of the time in full vacation mode (sat around) but the boys did work on my laundry room counter project which I'm loving! Thank you again! (Nathan got some of the tile work done on the backsplash on Saturday - I'll post pictures when it is all done).



Jill and Teddy were so sweet together! They played together non-stop. All week long we could hear them giggling off by themselves. Terrible two's is a myth. Five-year-olds however...now that can be a different story. ;)
