Thanksgiving Monday


The turkey has been consumed and, after three meals of the stuff, the gobbler holds no more attraction. The weekend was stunningly beautiful with temps hitting the mid-20s, it felt positively balmy. Jacob and Hannah spent today demonstrating their biking prowess - sans training wheels. They have all sorts of tricks including standing up, weaving to and fro and stopping on a dime. Amazing what happens when I leave them at Grandma's for a week! I was struck by how quickly my babies have grown up. Their babyhood can never be retrieved and there is something very sad about that. I must remember to cherish each moment rather than try to get "jobs done". This is an area where I really learn from the grandparents in our childrens' lives. The older generation understands that our children grow so quickly and I am encouraged by my parents and in-laws to slow down and be with my children. Now, I must really slow down and toddle off to bed as election day is tomorrow as well as a house inspection of the new abode. Oh, the bunk beds are finally painted and back in the twins' bedroom.
