My favorite holiday of the year is here. I'll be honest though, Thanksgiving isn't what it used to be. There were so many years when Thanksgiving meant an entire weekend of time for our family to do exactly what we wanted, and to just hang out. It's so different now. Catherine will work all weekend, and the kids had swim practice and work out yesterday. We also need to transport Andrew's parents back and forth, and it just isn't the amount of "down" time that we had in the past. It is what it is though.
I've enjoyed the quiet of the morning. I emailed Robert, and since he is 15 hours ahead of us his Thanksgiving was almost over. I have enjoyed a cup of coffee, and now I am watching the parade. Catherine has been sick (she does feel much better today) so Andrew and I have been camped out in the living areas of the house.
I am looking forward to heading to my aunt & uncle's house later today. I am really missing Aunt Cathy today, and I can only imagine how her girls are feeling. I am so grateful that we get to spend so much of our day with family. I am thankful for so many things. Life is full of so many blessings!
