Happy Thankgiving!

Lauren's recent blog post reminded me of when she and her siblings were little, and came home from school dressed as pilgrims or Indians. (Jessica--married and teaching Kindergarten, Emily -- now a mom of 4, Philip -- college student)

When the kids were little, Thanksgiving was always at Aunt Donna's. Here's Lauren (now a mom of 4) enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend at Donna's home in Austin.This picture's for you Donna. Here you are with the finest video camera of 1986. We're (Donna with toddler Kristyn, Me with baby Jeremy in stroller, Granny holding toddler Jessica's hand) enjoying a Thanksgiving walk by the river in Austin. (This picture was taken 23 Thanksgivings ago!!!!!!!!)

Tomorrow finds us home with several of our children's families. Three of the boys are off in Utah. Last Thanksgiving, we were in San Antonio for the birth of grandson Colby, who is now in far off Minnesota with his parents. We'll be missing all of you who are away tomorrow. I'm so thankful for all of life's many blessings, and most of all family.
