Giving thanks!

A happy (late) Thanksgiving to everyone in blog-land. We certainly appreciate you being part of Luke's life - it really does take a village to raise a child. Our family stayed in Oregon for Thanksgiving this year (mostly to avoid a 5-hour plane ride to MI with a crawling baby - this turned out to be a wise decision, as we just had a 2-hour plane ride to and from San Diego). We did get to "see" Tom's family via videoconferencing over the holiday weekend and we spent Thanksgiving day at my aunt and uncle's house. Boy, we all had a wonderful time! A special treat was that Tom's grandparents joined us for Thanksgiving (Rollin and Paula moved to SW Washington in October), so Luke got to meet Rollin for the first time. My cousin, Matt, played the part of a comic, entertaining us all afternoon and evening. My tummy muscles got a workout from all the laughter.

We learned that Luke *loves* Sharon's pumpkin pie and Vickie's sweet potatoes. Luke ate an entire piece of pumpkin pie the day after Thanksgiving!
