Counting my blessings...

Getting ready to start celebrating a day of Thanksgiving tomorrow beginning with Mass in the morning and followed by dropping off a Thanksgiving dinner to Baby B's family! Just to let you know, she is finally able to take some food via a feeding tube and a little bit orally. She needs to take a full 2oz. orally before they will let her come home so please pray that she is inspired by this holiday feast to get busy and eat!

It's just us this year again. We thought about getting together with some family in the area, but the illness we suffered through for 2 looooong months really took a lot out of us and we're still in recovery mode. I've got cranberry salad to make today and make-ahead mashed potatoes. I'm going to splat the turkey again because it cooks a lot faster that way, I've discovered and it provids comedic entertainment for my kiddos.

Just wanted to say thank you for all your kind words over these years in this space. I've never been comfortable with calling you "my readers". I think of us all as friends sharing our talents, whatever they might be (because we all have some!), our thoughts and in a small way, our hearts. God bless you all and the families you love!

Happy Thanksgiving!
