Lou was home for five glorious days! We had lots of fun, the kids were out of school during his entire visit. Josh was so excited for Lou to be home, that when Lou got home late Tuesday night, and went down to see Josh, Josh popped right out of bed ready to play!
We did lots together and I realized how much I missed being all together as a family.
At this time of year I miss my parents and my sisters. So I get to miss them and Lou this year. My family was all together for Thanksgiving. I realized I haven't been with my family on Thanksgiving since the year I returned home from my mission. Geez that's a crazy long time. Thanksgiving was always so fun growing up, one of my favorite holidays, its weird not to have that anymore and haven't had that for 13 years.
We went up to Jeff and Leann's. There was lots of people there. I love his cousins who came so it was great chatting with them. Kira and Josh had fun playing with their cousins, Claire and Jane.

Thanksgiving is over, Lou is gone again and not quite sure when he'll be home again. Hopefully one visit before his Christmas visit.
Life really isn't complete without Lou at home. Its like we're able to live day-to-day but we aren't able to really live a full life. Its like we are constantly living in limbo, which if you know me well is not me at all.
But to be positive, I love this time of year. I am determined to be happy and enjoy every moment even with Lou away. I should make a list so we don't miss out on anything.
This picture is just cute:

So glad you had a nice Thanksgiving with family and that Lou could be back for a while.
Kyah and I were just commiserating today that it has been waaay too long since we talked/got together. Maybe we could do something on Friday? I'll give you a call!
PS-- I feel like we have that many stuffed animals too. Where did they all come from?! Its like they breed or something....
I love that picture of your family!
I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving!
