Thankful

This past holiday weekend is a reminder for all we have to be thankful for: family, friends, provision, etc. We had a great few days with Uncle Michael visiting from NYC. Luke and Michael played hard and got along quite well. Luke was thrilled to have him here. We headed up to the mountains to visit with Shaun's extended family in Traphill. The Thanksgiving meal was preceded by a hike up to the old Sidden homeplace which is now a pile of large rocks that made up the fireplace and chimney. Luke had a great time playing with his cousins (they are actually Shaun's cousins) and eating Ma Sidden's cookies. Saturday, we headed up to some friends' farm for a BBQ. Shaun and our friend Eric tended the meat while the rest of us enjoyed the amazing sunset, the full moon, good food, and good company. Today, was a day of rest as it is intended to be. What a weekend! Now it's full steam ahead to Christmas in Texas!
