Thanksgiving...a time to share with others, laugh, help, eat, and just be together. 38 people, 6 of them, people from the ranch who don't come to church. I even gave mom a couple of tastes!
We had plenty of food, time for games before, and dad even rented a flat screen tv for the games, also to try to use in the back of the church on Sunday to see if it will work for the worship team. All in all, I think everyone had a very nice time and enjoyed being together instead of at home with just the two of them, or even just the one person by themselves. (10 of them were just that!) Tony called several times, at some friends, all of them trying to do a turkey, asking directions, it sounded as if he was having a good time! We hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, and a happy birthday for you Amy!
Love, Dad and Mom

What a day !

Finally, a chance to kiss, hug, and say, "how is school?" "how are you?" "What have you been up to?" We spent the day in the courthouse waiting to see how it would all come out for the kids and for Tony and Jennifer. In the end, they decided to work on parenting, although divorced, and Tony will get to see his kids with Jennifer there. We met them at the pizza parlor and had a couple of hours before having to leave. The day before mom was taken to the hospital, and so we had to see her, and speak to her doctor. She is pretty sick, what a letdown after only being home for 5 days.
Alexander is so sweet, he misses us, was so glad to see us, and is growing up so fast.
Tony had a very good time with them. They were very excited to see him, and spent most of the time keeping his busy in the game room.
Cassandra is the cutest! She is very precocious, just a bubbly little thing, and she was very glad to see us all!
Cassandra liked the hat and belt and blouse that we bought, Amy. So did Alexander! They all looked as if they will fit great!
