There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

Thanksgiving in a Nutshell

I am going to make this quick. Any minute I fear a gecko could run up my leg (Andrew informed me he saw one a week ago and it ran away into hiding under MY computer desk).

Thanksgiving came and went - FAST. Besides freaking out at the beginning of Thanksgiving dinner (and I do mean FREAKING OUT), Maddox was great and had a blast with all his family. He put his grandmas and grandpas all to work...and they loved it, of course. He fell in love, too...with his cousins Lindsey and Kayla. I think he wanted to take them home.

Jude smiled at everyone, cooed, slept a whole bunch and GREW UP, I swear. Every time I look at that baby he is getting bigger and bigger.

Ok. Enough rambling. The gecko is probably planning his attack at this very moment. Let me just say I had a fabulous time and cherished every single moment. It was probably Ninny's worst Thanksgiving, though. She came down with possible food poisoning and went to bed. I hate she was sick - she missed some amazing food! But there is always Christmas...and yes, I already can't wait! The tree is going up today.

There is no home like "sweet Carolina." But Maddox reminded me lastnight that this is our home, for now, and I need to stop whining about it. He grinned when he saw his room and all his toys. He put his stool back in its place, sat on his dump truck and said, "HOME!"

And it IS home...home sweet home, even if I don't always realize it.

(what follows are just some of the memorable pictures I took)
