I thought these were uploaded the other day but I was mistaken. Better late than never. This last week has been a stressful one on an emotional level. Our best friends from college moved to Pennsylvania on Friday to begin the next chapter in their adventure of life. Although we celebrate this day that we knew was coming we had plenty of tears to honor their departure. The last few nights Ainsley has been fighting chest congestion. Although this makes sleeping difficult she has been a big trooper! We purchased a humidifier this evening of which I have no expectations so we shall see how things go. This week we are going to be getting family pictures taken by a high school classmate of Brent's. Then on Thursday we will again be hosting family Thanksgiving. When this note is completed I have to go remove the 25 pound turkey from the freezer so it can begin the long journey to the Thanksgiving table. Not sure where it is going to fit in the already full refrigerator nor where the additional groceries I need to purchase are going to go. The joys of Thanksgiving!
