Things I'm Thankful For

Thanksgiving week was a great time here, with Hunter's whole family visiting for 4 whole days.

Carter enjoyed playing outside on an unsually warm Thanksgiving day. His uncles even taught him how to catch the frisbee.

Grandma Tabony pushes Arden on the swings at the nearby playground. It was nice to get enough time with the folks to see the kids really warm up and show some love to them.

Uncle Sawyer helped Carter go "faster and higher" on the swings. Carter really likes the swings now. Sawyer began to be worried about the amount of wear and tear on his arm before Carter relented.

The Tabony Brothers Three pose for a picture. Notice that Sawyer's the only one really looking at the camera. This is seconds before Freeman and I chucked him into the leaves. We'd raked up a great pile and spent awhile catapulting ourselves into it. Then Freeman picked me up and tossed me, and it was so funny being thrown by someone... I hadn't had it happen to me for 15 or 20 years. We eventually even did it to Grandma and Grandpa, though with less trickery.

Carter contemplates autumn in the front yard.

Carter couldn't really jump into the leaf pile, he'd just fall into the side. So to give him the full experience, we pulled a bench off the front porch. I just love this shot, with Sawyer mimicing him in the background.

It took a few tries to get this picture to happen. But the one I have after it with Freeman face down in the leaves but holding the Frisbee up to show it was a clean catch is the real prize.

Freeman's lovely wife Kate got to visit our home for the first time. I think she really liked being around the kids too! Unfortunately, she got sick and had to spend a big part of Saturday in bed. Hopefully it wasn't the turkey... the bird is supposed to be nice and pink in the middle, right?

Whoops, that's the last of the pictures so I have to end with that lame joke. Ouch. Mom, please don't comment below attempting to warn the denziens of the interwebs that they shouldn't eat pink turkey. Or green ham.

Anyway, the biggest thing we had to be thankful for this Thanksgiving? Time together with family. Nothing beats that. Love to all!
