A Very Happy Thanksgiving--November 23, 2017!
I was thinking this morning that yesterday was a perfect Thanksgiving, and it really was. When your children are little, you might take these Thanksgiving days for granted, or even find them a little bit difficult/stressful. But when your children are getting older, and you are so happy they are all home, then these Thanksgivings are wonderful. My Thanksgiving was wonderful.
I will be honest. I usually only share this with my girls, but Thanksgiving can be a drag.

Happy Birthday to my Lily--November 9, 2017!
Happy Birthday to my Lily, who turns 11 today. It was probably the second happiest day of my life, the day she was born. I think she was around 2 in this photo--my lord, look at that head of hair!
And this was taken a few weeks ago--she still has the most amazing smile! She is absolutely adored by all of us, probably the most, because she is the baby, and because she has a punky personality! All of them have a soft spot for her.
I always say that while I thought our family was fantastic when it was just the four of them, when we had Lily, I realized how much "better" our family had become. I have explained this to others. Not only was she a perfect blessing, but she unites our family in a way the others can't. My kids will be coming back to attend her life events--graduations, proms, etc, long after the trips home may not have been a priority for some of them.
And for that reason, she is the one who will make our family stronger, closer, more united. And for that, and for thousands of other reasons, I adore her. Even with the hair. Actually, especially with the hair, because she thinks she is the "bomb diggity." Her words, not mine.

Happy Election Day-Timmy votes for the first time! November 7, 2017
Does this just say it all? My Timmy is now old enough to vote!
And so we did, together, for the first time, without him in my booth. Now he gets to do it himself.
