Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!! :)

What generous and thoughtful and wonderful neighbors I have. Amy invited me over for lunch with her family (Claire was sick anyway, so she didn't mind too much that James was sick), which was really nice. We went over about 1 and came back home just after 2... it was nice to get out of the house for some adult conversation! James wasn't feeling very well this afternoon and I could not get him to take a nap, so we just played in the living room floor. First, Mary brought over a huge plate of cuban-inspired Thanksgiving goodies (turkey, gravy, black beans with rice, cranberry jelly, stuffing and a roll). Then, Merin brought me a plate with yummy food (turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry salad, pineapple something that I have to get a recipe for, and sweet potatoes). Then, Amy brought me leftovers from her lunch. After I gave James a bath, Merin stopped by with a slice of pumpkin pie and apple pie! I feel so cared for and so full!! And I don't have to cook tomorrow.

Today was absolutely beautiful... sunny and 78... we tied the record high. James and I got out to enjoy it for a little bit today because tomorrow it isn't supposed to get out of the 50's!

I miss my husband. I miss my little girl. Today she turned 3. It is hard to believe that she was born 3 years ago. Sometimes it feels as if it was just yesterday that I was pregnant with her and yet she is a baby no more.

I'm off to bed. I am tired and trying to kick this cold bug myself!
