Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I am sitting here in a quiet house while the kids are at my Mom's. I don't know what to do with the quiet but it is a nice change. I am waiting for Rosie to wake up.

We had Joanie's 7th birthday on Sunday. It was so sweet to go out with her shopping and have her all to myself. She is a very thoughtful shopper. She had in her mind what she wanted and carefully made her selection. We looked at stuff for over 2 hours. I think she debated between two different doll sets in the Target for 20 minutes alone. She was so excited to decorate her cake and be the star.

Daniel was so excited for someone else's birthday to get more cake. He thinks it is for him. He tried to blow out Joanie's candles on her.

Heidi went missing on us. She stowed away in the car for 30 hours and had us worried. It is amazing how much a cat can mean that greets you until they are not there. We are just so thankful it wasn't summer when she tried this adventure.

Moriah is loving her cursive handwriting and giving us beautiful notes everyday. I keep thinking I need to have a box to save these treasures. Everyday you get them you wonder how you can keep them and so they get tossed once the fridge is too full. I am thinking of making each child a box to store there most precious creations. I look back at them and smile!
