Finally... Thanksgiving

So I'm a little late. And it's not like I've been studying for my oral exams. Done and done. No, I've been sick and then I had one last class (and two last books and one last paper) and a quick trip to Philly (fantastic quilt exhibit), not to mention some big changes in my work assignment (glory, hallelujah!). Here are a few pictures and adventures from my Thanksgiving week in Colorado.
I spent a few days in Aurora with Lisa and her family. Good times with Baby Lukie and Savannah while Grant & Sierra were at school. I even helped Sierra make a family culture poster and went to Grant's soccer game.On to Winter Park with the whole rest of the family. Unfortunately, by this point, all the germs of the past six months had caught up with me and I came down with a cold. Plus, because I'm single and generally flexible, so I got to sleep on the laundry room floor (anyone seen Dan in Real Life? Seriously, people... enough to make anyone grouchy. Why does being married qualify you for a bed?!?). But cards and food are always a good bet. And the mountains. Oh the mountains and the snow (let me tell you about driving down!).But the winner of them all has to be that baby. Sheesh. I'd do anything for him. And bless my sister who let me hold him even with my cold. I love his big eyes and I love his easy-going nature. I love how much Savannah loves him.I can't get enough...

How fun to be with your whole family. I'm sorry you got sick! I hope your feeling better. I just amazed that you can get so much done.

We should start a support group for the single siblings who have to sleep in laundry rooms (you), garages ('07), neighbors house ('06), attic storage rooms ('05), and closet ('04).
