Happy Thanksgiving

Today was a nice fall day in Michigan, unlike last year or the year before with snow and 11 degrees. No today was a nice 55 degrees and sunny. A perfect fall day. At noon we went to Grandma Fitz's house for the meal. Jimmie had two full plates of everything on the table: turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, green beans, fruit salad, seven layer salad, candied yams, rolls, cranberry sauce, gravy. And of course afterward was nap time while the women cleaned up, the men talking about work and sports, and the children playing outside. All in all it was a wonderful day to spend with family.

I heard a greeting from a card for thanksgiving that I would like to share with all of you, because we miss everyone so much.
"It is hard to count all of your blessings when they are not present." I guess it is just my way of saying I wish could have been able to see a lot of people that we care about and miss.

We miss you guys too! And Kelly's adjusting rather well! Conlan has been quite happy these days, and it's great to start to see his little personality; he's 5 weeks old now! Crazy stuff.

Jimmie, Alyssa, Kaden, and Benjamin
