Thanksgiving Update

We’re back online, it only took a month and a half to get internet service at the new house. Not too bad actually, our old ISP told us we’d have to pay to dig a new phone trench to the house. Luckily before you could say ‘HelloClearwire’ Qwest felt differently about whose responsibilty it was and started right away.

For Thanksgiving we went back to Colorado for an important first family holiday without Ed and to see Meggan & Jon’s beautiful baby girl Macy. That was one bun that wanted to get out of the oven ASAP. There are some pictures of her on our Flickr account and lots more on Bug’s blog.   Here Lucy and Nessa are preparing with Melissa’s help to take an inappropriately adorned Conor on a creekside snipe hunt by the old teepee.   We always love spending time with these two trouble makers but need to make sure that he doesn’t get too caught up in their princess parties.  Poor boy, too many girl cousins.

We all enjoyed a big Thanksgiving meal and a great turkey day, the first I’ve seen that didn’t involve clay pigeon shooting off the back porch and possibly the last one at the old house. Although Luie’s new place does back to a golf course so I guess we can shoot golf balls out of the air? Have to check with the local police on that one, that is if they aren’t over there shooting too.  At least Hygeine Fire Dept won’t complain..

Hopefully you all had a great Thanksgiving too with lots of friends and family.  Now for Xmas with Melissa’s side of the family and our first guests in the new second bedroom.
