As we give thanks

It has been good and busy around here this week. My eldest son is home for Thanksgiving. It is the first time he's been here since he left in August. I get such delight from just being able to lay my eyes on him. He looks good, seems content, relaxed.

His little sisters and brothers are very happy to have him home, but the littlest didn't realize he was going BACK to school soon. Her little crushed expression was a heart breaker.

So we are hosting 50+ people here tomorrow, and that means today we are cleaning, cooking, arranging, decorating. Then another get together Friday with the church's youth group on my son's last day here, then off he goes again.

Then back to the daily schedule.

Pregnancy-wise, everything is good, except a little creeping blood pressure. I feel really well, and love feeling the wee one rolling around and enjoying her space.

We have so much to be thankful this year. So much.

May you all have a blessed and enriching Thanksgiving day!!
