Thanksgiving crafts

I got a bit choked up this morning when Jen and Wendy (Zach's daycare providers) presented me with his very first little hand/foot-tracing turkey.

And, here we are making pie for a holiday preview last weekend. Zach was pretty psyched that he got his own whisk.

The babies hit the dance floor yesterday afternoon. Saru, Ryan, Jace and Heather...and a whole lot of bubbles.

And the struggle to get dressed, in a Quality Inn bed after bath. With remote.

$.79 just doesn't buy what it used to

I mentioned our quick trip to Harrisburg - were just there briefly to see Josh's Aunt Pami, who is fighting pancreatic cancer. It is a very tough disease, and our thoughts remain with her as she continues to fight it.

A cheerful detour of this trip - and a break from the driving - was a quick visit with my sister and niece, Jeni, in Jersey City on the way back, where we stayed just long enough to wander the streets and eat some tacos.

Plum Island stripes

Just got back from a last-minute trip to Harrisburg with a quick stop in Jersey City... more on that later. We're recovering from the disruption to Zach's sleep patterns now.

Despite being bundled up and hoisted into a backpack carrier, he seemed to enjoy the view.
