One of the fun things about being a Grammy is having the gang over for holidays. I've been in the kitchen for about 4 days now. Emily and Brian and 3 kids came, as well as Mark (3rd year dental student) and wife Courtney and their dog Akira, and Lauren and Dan and their 3 kids. Jessica and Walter and our son Carl live with us. It was a noisy, fun 4 days, a lot of cooking (for 16 people) and eating, and just hanging out. Before everyone left, we gathered for singing, prayer, to share what we are grateful for, and to hear Grandpa tell a neat story about Jim Thorpe and about our pilgrim 10th great grandfather John Winslow. (Sorry, Mark and Courtney -- you had already left for San Antonio and missed out on this) I have a little breather, and then another round of company hits tomorrow night, Carl's sister Sharon and her family (they are moving 5 minutes away from us!).
