Happy Thanksgiving!

Had a great visit with the Behrends (Korea branch) and of course, Sean. He left today for 12 days, he's attending a conference in Seol. Yes, he is stalking the Behrends. Thankfully, this is the last trip of the year, when he returns he'll be staying put for more than just a few weeks. I'll hardly know how to act!

Had a wonderful turkey feast on Thursday, lots of good food and company. In addition to the Behrends, we invited a neighbor (who's husband is underway) and her two sons. Holidays are the best reason to break out the leaves for Grammie's table.

Margaret is busy learning new tricks, she's figured out how to clap her hands. She is very proud to applaud her own efforts now. Mary's front tooth is hanging on just barely, she woke up this morning with it pointing practically sideways and has enjoyed grossing me out throughout the day. "Look Mom, it wiggles!"

Nothing too exciting today, enjoying the quiet. Pushing some laundry and will make more serious efforts to straighten up tomorrow. Now I have to get moving on Christmas presents, I need to get them in the mail!
