We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We went to Dreamy and Granddaddy's house with the whole crew and really enjoyed it. We put up the Christmas tree, an activity both kids loved. They keep asking when Christmas is. I need to get some advent calendars for them to count down with.
I have yet to download (or is it upload?) the photos from the weekend, but they will come.
I've been ruminating on Jer 29:11-14 for about 2 weeks. Not just the "God has plans" for you part, but that this is from a letter written to exiles telling them to settle down, build houses, make roots. They are not where they want to be, but God tells them, "this is my plan". The section ends with a promise to bring them back, but in between, He tells them to seek His face, seek it with all their hearts. It reminds me that there is always hope and that there is always comfort in seeking the Lord earnestly and honestly.
Sons are an heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. PS 127:3-5a

We went downtown Wednesday for the Veteran's Day Parade. We saw all our favorite things--Azalea Trail Maids, Firetrucks and Grandma and Paw Paw. It was a lot of fun. We also got to see the governor, which was really cool.
Our life seems to get busier and busier with more and more things to do. I suppose this only gets worse as they get older?
