Still here

I hope each of you had a great Thanksgiving. We loaded up the van and headed for St. Louis to visit some of my family. The trip went surprisingly well, considering we're talking nine-plus hours in the van each way. The kids had fun playing with their cousins, and we all enjoyed catching up with people. We also took the kids to the Magic House, the St. Louis children's museum. If you ever get the chance to go, do it - but plan on it taking all day (but it's worth it).

It's always interesting reconnecting with family. For me, it ties you back in and separates you all at the same time. Still, I'm glad we went.

So, Thankgiving is over, but I'm still not back at work. I caught a bug somewhere along the way and have been laid up ever since. But the Christmas tree is up and Lil Bit is loving it, just like she did the lights we saw on our trip. It's cool seeing things new again through her eyes.

    St. Louis sounds wonderful. We need to take our boys there.

  4. Hope you feel better soon. I have been old and tired for so long I forget how much the kids love to see the lights.
