I can smell the comforting scent of turkey in the air, I've got the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on tv, my kids are all safe and happy-today I am thankful.
Just a short note to say we got moved ok, and we're spending turkeyday with my brother and his partner, Petey. I hope you and yours can find and enjoy what you're thankful for today. Happy Thanksgiving Day everyone.
RIP Carrie (Callaway) Hammer...my thoughts and many prayers are with your husband, small children, and the rest of your family and friends. A tragedy, no matter what time of year.

Still here :)
I know, it's been awhile. We've been packing and taking care of all the loose ends. We're leaving on Friday morning, and it still seems so surreal. I can't believe I'm going back "home". I'm excited, scared, nervous, and unbelievably anxious. I'm happy my brother will be there. I know I won't see him tons, but just to have him close to 'keep an eye on him', I guess. Plus, it surely doesn't hurt to have someone we know there. He sounds excited to have us coming, too. I had told my dad we were coming (he also lives there)...he just wanted to know where we were living (so he could google to see the house @@), and where Alex was going to be working. Didn't show any emotion about it. I don't know why I expected more-but I did. He hasn't seen me in 10 years. Saw my oldest when she was about a year, hasn't met any of the other children or my husband. Oh well...
I did hear something today that almost made me happy, tho it shouldn't have. My bro-in-law said that my father-in-laws hotels in Canada weren't doing so well. He was blaming it on gas prices and the economy. The exact reasons WE couldn't make it here, but he called us lazy lowlifes instead. I'd love to tell him the same, but I won't.
Kids are doing well, tho feeling the anxiety in the house. Kaitlynne has been up and down the 'bipolar-coaster' (as I call it) pretty bad the last few days; she'll be better on the road, and def. better when she sees Scott and Pete. Brandon's tolerating his seizure meds well, and thankfully sleeping (with the help of Melatonin). The twins are doing well, tho Anne-Marie is having the most issues with what's going on. We don't have time to hold her or pay as much attention, tho we're trying to take time out for her. I might have to dig out my Mei-Tei to carry her around in.
Not much else going on right now-moving has consumed everything, blah. I'm just ready to be there and to get everything going for doctors, jobs, and such.
