fun

Carson and Molly atop Indian Rock Park on Wednesday

This was the first long weekend in a long time that I enjoyed.

I am usually tired, annoyed and frustrated when they are over

 I usually want to go back to work.

But not this weekend...this weekend was fun.

Thanksgiving was at my in-laws

and we served 57 (yes 57) without a hitch.

We ate too much, drank too much and played too much poker.

Cousins came to sleep over with Carson and Molly,

cousins we don't get to see very often.

I got out and excercised almost every day of the weekend.

We went on a family walk, and I

swam, ran and walked the other days.

Molly's 8th birthday was on Sunday

we had homemade pizzas on the grill

(Molly got to order Pizza Hut for herself...it WAS her birthday afterall)

and had a few friends over for cupcakes.

There weren't a lot of presents, but a lot of joy.

We didn't have many plans, and

just enjoyed each other's company all weekend.

It was good.
