It's been a crazy, hectic, fun and tiring week - but we sure have a lot to be thankful for. I'm thankful that my parents agreed to watch the kids so that Chuck & I could have a date night to celebrate my new job! We went to this crazy thing called Monkey Town 6 which is a 4-course meal served in a movie cube with performance art and wine. I'm thankful that Aurora has great friends like Presley, who we got to spend the morning with yesterday. We're all thankful that my parents got a new dog this week! Finley is a calm and sweet little guy and we love him already. I'm thankful that Aurora did the Turkey Trot with me this year!!! She ran the kids race, then the family did crafts and ate snacks while they waited for me to finish the 5-mile run. It was rainy, hilly, and crowded but I'm certainly thankful for the ability to run this great city. I'm thankful for my dear friend Carmen who passed away this year, but left us with a wonderful tradition of having Thanksgiving with her family. The food was fantastic and everybody had a great time. The weather even cleared up in time for the girls to swim!
And, I'm thankful to have a few more days off with the family before settling into my new work routine (nothing like starting during a short week!). My legs are tired, my belly is full, and my heart is happy.

It was great to spend Thanksgiving with you and Carmen's beautiful family.
Happy Thanksgiving! Cracks me up that you posed with the before and after turkeys...
Glad things are going so well for you & the family. Congrats on the new job. You certainly did all the right things between jobs.
John has my new computer up & running, so I hope my comments get recorded again. I think the problem could have been the way he had the lastpass.com program set up, which primarily goes to his accounts instead of my personal accounts. I have been able to follow your blog, but my comments never appeared, LOL.I look forward to viewing posts about Finley, along with photos.
