Thanksgiving...

Today, we are anxiously awaiting 4:05 p.m. and Daddy's arrival on a jetplane. It will be interesting to see Kenzie's reaction to seeing him after a two week absence. Daddy is prepared emotionally for her to be a little shy, but we hope she'll be rather excited. She's drawn him a picture to give him at the airport, and she told him "I misssss you" on the phone moments ago. Of course, she has no idea what that means - but she's a good little parrot.



Today, I'm thankful for:
My child
My Doug
Health
our family and friends
goals and ideas, & their realizations
stolen moments
dishwashers
sunny days outside
Hope
& airplanes...

I asked Kenzie what she was thankful for today. Without hesitation, she says: "puppas" (puppy's).

Things I could do without:
Kenzie's newfound passion for tossing everything off the top of the staircase, listening for the crash below... & the miles seperating our family right now... But even these things should be celebrated -- for they are only possible because we have one another.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
