Giving Thanks

Noah came home today with a Thanksgiving "hat" he made at school...a feather for each thing he is grateful for:"My family and friends, the sky, me, and my house". It made me smile.

Here's what would be on my hat:

My energetic and beautiful children

My loving and thoughtful husband

Friends and family all over the world

Good books and the ability to read and share them with others

Hot chai on a cold day

Broccoli and nasturtiums sprouting in our winter garden

Past travels and daydreaming about future adventures

Laughing so hard it makes me cry

What are you giving thanks for this year?

We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Family Visit

We had a great visit with my Uncle John, Aunt Avis, and Chris who stayed with us during the first part of their Thanksgiving road trip.

Lost in the Maize

A fun farm day complete with a corn maze in the shape of Noah's Ark, feeding the goats, riding the cow train, playing in the corn box, hanging out with Nana, Poobah, Laureen, Isabel, and some new friends. We all went home dirty, happy, and exhausted.
