Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is always a great time of the year, a time to reflect on what you’re thankful for. We have spent thanksgiving with both sides of the family Since moving to Roseau, I think we will create a tradition of spending thanksgiving with the Runyan side of the family as we see the Evans’ side many times throughout the year. By spending thanksgiving with the Runyans, it’s another opportunity we get to see that side of the family. The Runyans’ have created a thanksgiving tradition that is something I look forward to each year. We go shopping in Brainerd on Black Friday. I would have to vote this year was the most peaceful shopping there has ever been with stores opening at midnight; we left at 3:30am. I got about 80% of the Christmas Shopping done!!

I’m thankful for a relativity healthy and happy family. Since return home from thanksgiving, Audrey got the flu! L Tuesday night after work we headed over to a friend’s house for a play date. Audrey had been pretty needed since returning from our vacation, but that is partly her personality. We got home at about 6:15pm and I went to lay Audrey down for bed at 7:05 and she just stared at me as I laid her in the crib…and there it came. L All over her face, eyes…yuck. Let’s just say, after 2 new sheets in the crib, 2 carpet cleanings and 2 wood floor cleanings our girl was fast asleep at 9:15pm. Audrey’s Great Aunt Audrey was transferred to the grand forks hospital for an infection she has. They were doing surgery when she arrived last night…add her to your prayer list!

I’m blessed I get to spend today at home with Audrey, even though she is under the weather. I get to stay home with her two extra days next week as her daycare has vacation and I’m taking the two days off from work.
