pictures to share

...almost Thanksgiving

hard to believe it is time for the big ol' turkey feast. Now that the kids are older and are no longer into Halloween costumes or trick or treat, I somehow missed the transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving. I find myself feeling urgent all of a sudden to get ready for this family get together. In addition to planning a feast, this year, there is also planning for Rachael's trip back home from college. I can not wait to see my big pumpkin. She'll be bringing home lots of artwork so that is very exciting too.

This year, for 2 years in a row now, we will again miss the deLeon-Klefbom family, and Frank and Faith; and for the first year, we will not have Mimi with us. On a happy note, Amy Joy will be joining us for the first time this year. So on Thanksgiving, we will start our day with a 5k Fredericksburg Turkey Trot; with Meghan (Rache's friend) joining us also. Lots of exciting new things. I am again thankful for all the family and friends that will be here. I cannot wait for all the wonderful chaos.

Cross your fingers, the well doesn't run dry!
