Family Time

Like I said, I never promised to be a regular poster. Now, I find myself in the position of playing catchup. I think about what I should post, wonder how I should write about what happens in our world, but right now, that's about as far as I'm getting. I'll try to make amends.

First, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was a little hectic, but nice. Grani came to visit for a while before turkey day, which is always a nice treat. We have some new artwork on the fridge as a result. Sorry about the icky kid germs, Grani. Also in attendance was one of Ben's most favorite people in the whole world, Charley. I think he's happy that Ben no longer calls him Darla, but I have to say that the rest of us did enjoy that nickname. Charley was joined by the lovely Miss Rachel, who totally rocks. She fit right it, jumped right in and was an excellent house guest. Ry was a huge fan of both Char & Rachel, although he did express a *slight* preference for Rachel - over every other person in the house! She was the enabler of Ry's raid on the munchie table, but she also taught Ry to take time to smell the flowers.

See, if I were a good blogger, I'd have a picture of this activity, which was very cute (although getting a little old now that she's no longer here). So, imagine Ry wrinkling his nose as Rachel (who is also not pictured here) lifts him up to smell all the flowers, including those made from cornhusk. Got the image? Good, go with it.
