Turkey Lurkey

We started out with a brisk 2 mile sprint/walk at the Club this morning. Grandma Cindi, P Diddy, and I braved the cold while E-Turkey was leading the pack on his bike.

After some very cozy naps and Ratatouille, we collectively put together a Thanksgiving feast. It was so yummy and now I am stuffed. Must go run tomorrow.

Even Eliot is pooped out by the fire.

Look who's on Two Wheels!

Grandma & Grandpa are on their way!

First of all, let me say congratulations to Logan, Nell, Shana, and Jason who among others participated in the Grapevine Ultracentric. You all are hardcore! I wish I could have come to cheer you all on.

However, E and I were busy from sun up to sun down getting ready for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive from Oregon. We cleaned every square inch of our property. I'm usually better prepared; but E has made some big progress on our house since the last time most of you saw it. (Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa's scheduled arrival!)

Notice that the exposed framing is no longer exposed?

We're still waiting for a bigger ladder to finish the fireplace.

The end is in sight for this project. A little more mud, paint, and carpet.

We have lots to do this week. We're going to Medieval Times, a Mavericks game, a GM private tour, shopping with the girls, cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for the first time! And I anticipate lots of grandparent spoiling. My family has just left for the airport. It's so quiet.

Fort Worth Air Show

We went back to the air show last weekend. We had such a good time last year! This year, we didn't do nearly as much because of the crowds. But since we've already toured all of the airplanes, and the kids aren't scared of the noise anymore, we got to spend more time watching the planes in flight.

(This is one of my favorites from last year. He's not so little anymore.)

This year the Blue Angels were there. They are So Cool. I never knew much about them until I saw a documentary a few months ago. And then sure enough they show up at the air show. Why didn't we get to see these when I was a kid? Probably because Alliance airport didn't exist when I was a kid.
