Thanksgiving Catchup

Our little man has been sick for 5 weeks straight now, but he's done a great job of weathering his colds during our holiday busyness. He had croup, which he kicked, but then immediately picked up another cold somewhere. Mark was on call Thanksgiving, but my family was able to come down and whip up a whole meal, including an awesome turkey, that we then brought to the hospital to enjoy. They enjoyed seeing how much Dane is changing - he's babbling like a maniac, getting more mobile every day, and is his happiest when being teased or tickled. Mark got home at about 11 on Friday morning, and his family then came over from DeKalb, where they were visiting Steve. They watched Dane while Mark and I had a Dane-free date, which was awesome. The next day, we all just hung out at our house, playing Bunco, eating good food and making Dane laugh at every chance. It was great, relaxing and enjoying family, the perfect way to spend a day remembering what we're Thankful for.
