Four angels sent from God came over to encourage, laugh with and renew me, and help me tie up the strings for company. Thank God -- so much! -- for such caring friends!!
Then arrived the grandkids, bringing Mom and Dad, exhausted from the 8 hrs in the car, driving over ice and snow, wind and rain. The first comment was, "Papa, you need to scoot your house closer to mine...."
We played playdough and puzzles,
Went to McD's and bookstores
played legos
and studied bugs (courtesy of Papa -- of course!)
Even had birthday cake with Grandma! And all the while, read lots of books,
watched Thomas the Train dvds over and over. And had a wonderful, super-delicious, scrumptious, very good time!
Libby is fun for all of us! Dad brings out the biggest smiles in her

We played playdough and puzzles,
rolled in leaves
climbed Papa's "tree house".
Went to McD's and bookstores

Libby is fun for all of us! Dad brings out the biggest smiles in her
but Mom (esp mom!) and brothers bring a light to her eyes and she begins to talk, and talk, and talk. Such joy and thanksgiving for the wonder of a child.
So now time to clean up and get ready to go see Lora and Andrew. Missing Jenny and Jon, Emily and Paul, but hope they have a wonderful Thanksgiving too. Each time with one set of grandkids makes me wish for the long distance ones too.
So Blessings to all! and to all a Happy Thanksgiving!
