Thanksgiving Thanks

I am thankful for many things this Thanksgiving time, but most particularly, the fact that Annabelle is in preschool. I have a precious few hours to be me. Sans kids. Seriously, I am so grateful for the stage of life Matt and I are in. Paige is old enough to babysit for a while, yet not old enough for puberty (yet!!), everyone gets along (usually!!), they like doing things with us still, and life is good...

And, an extra special reason why I was thankful on Thanksgiving (after the fact, admittedly): that was the one day last week that no one was sick. The rest of the days we had various forms (and degrees) of feverish, puking, coughing and sleeping children (one of whom is over 30). :)
