In which we discuss matters of the family.

The Cubs were supposed to be winning the Series right around party time.

Pete’s first birthday was nearly a month ago, but almost everyone who’d been invited to his birthday party was sick that day. So we rescheduled it for a few days after Thanksgiving, when most of Rockford’s family was already planning to be here. Pete didn’t waste a minute admiring his cake before he tore into it.

Giving thanks

The list of things that I’m thankful for is so much longer than this, but these are the things that sprung to my mind most readily.

  • Good health.
  • Two kids who loves each other like crazy.
  • A husband who does the dishes without being asked.
  • Scrabble on Facebook. (Silly, I know. But it’s a way to spend time with far-afield friends, and it’s a little bit of exercise for my brain.)

    Happy Thanksgiving!
