What an incredible year our family has experienced! I believe we are all "brimming over" with thankfulness. We did not spend Thanksgiving Day all together this year, but even so, we did celebrate in smaller ways. Papa Norm and I had dear friends, Susan and Bill, with us as well as our son Jon. The day was quiet but very enjoyable.
Yesterday Papa and I spent a few hours with Claire and Chloe. What a treat! It was their 10th month birthday and we took a few pictures, of course. Chloe decided to snooze in Papa's arms and stayed there for over an hour. In this picture, it is actually her second position. She sat up once and we thought she was going to wake up but she snuggled up again and fell back asleep.
Claire, however, was a busy little bee for most of the morning. She chattered constantly, most of the day, as this little film will show. Until she, too, fell asleep in Papa's arms.
The girls had some more play time before we took a walk in the neighborhood. What a beautiful day it was, leaves were falling and the temperature was perfect.
After our walk, we paused for a while to enjoy the outside air and listen to Claire's speech, or maybe her song (?). Chloe enjoyed the pleasure of a leaf in her hands and also the fun of removing her sock for about the fifth time that day. :):):) All in all, it has been a wonderful long weekend. We continue to give thanks for the many, many blessings we have.
