Thanksgiving Highlites

Have I took a blog hiatus or what. Well Thanksgiving happened, two ear infections, a sinus infection happened, a birthday for my girl happened, and a star-studded Fancy Nancy party happened.

We'll start first with Thankgiving...I through in the Nashville and got to see my sister Katie who was flying to Boston on her way to Boston for the day. We toured the Opry Hotel, Opry Mills Mall, and have lunch at the coolest place called the Aquarium. The food was alright, but the fish were AWESOME. Especially when they started to feed them.

We then drove home to Indiana and had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Grammy spoiled us terribly with new clothes and I got to ride to my hearts content. Here are some Highlites:

Circus time (and cotton candy)Grammy and Lil' G
Uncle and Baby




Unfortunately, the day were were left Texas Lil' G had a fever, which turned into a cold, and got everyone sick in Indiana. The kids ended up getting ear infections and I got a sinus infection. So unfortunately, I couldn't taste my dinner, but it looked beautiful.



Luckily the kids cleared up by the plane flight home and were angels... I even had once lady follow me into the bathroom to tell me my kids "would turn into perfectly respectful people" based on my mothering. BOY, that made me feel good.

Unfortunately, the plane flight for me was a little rocky, I thought my eye would pop out of my brain on the way down. Gary met us for a surprise at the airport with Lilies for the B-day Girl. What a Guy...

Thankful to be busy

Today I was grateful for the busy confusion of the day, including playing Thanksgiving songs on the organ, teaching my class about tithing, and a medical school pie party at my house. This week has been a little eye opening. Gary starts his first test tomorrow morning and to honest with the week mostly off from piano teaching, I have been a little lonely. Gary has been incognito with studying, and it made me realize just what I will be dealing with come January with clinics starting.

L and I did our best to keep busy, Wednesday I cooked like mad, Thursday morning I made rolls (and L made rolls with her play dough), we had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast at Leslie's, Friday we went to the zoo, then went shopping for sun glasses (L's request) and Christmas lights, and then got pizza. Saturday I snuck out and practiced the organ for a while then came home and decorated the house for Christmas. I wasn't going to do it until after L's birthday, but I don't think we will be doing a party this year, and I needed something to do.

This is the first Thanksgiving weekend (Wed-Saturday) without the bustle of family in the house, and it was a little lonely. I guess it makes me all that more thankful for good friends to share holidays with and time with my family when we can.


And I am thankful for Dec. 14th when Gary is mine for two whole weeks.
