I both love and dread the holidays. I love the prospect of seeing my family but the ever pending threat of mommas going into labor to interrupt those precious times looms large. Seems we can never time things just right.
We did get to have some Thanksgiving time this year though. Missed seeing Erin and her family because they traveled down to Thomasville and spent 6 days down there, but Kayla invited us to her house for a Thanksgiving Eve meal together and that was special. It was her first time making a turkey and I think she did pretty good!
Then on actual Thanksgiving Day we got to spend some time with friends from "back home" as they came up to see a few of their children and grandchildren. Doug and Janine Taylor. Doug is a physical therapist who was involved in a devastating car accident several months ago. He almost lost his life but his wife never lost faith in a healing Father! Doug still has a few miracles left to go but it is amazing he is here among us still!
