A quiet Thanksgiving evening at Nana & Popo's . . . and Maddie's house too . . .

Okay Henry, it's time to settle down with a good book . . How about "Dream of the Echoes" THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF NOTRE DAME! by Brandon Crouch & Frank Corrigan. It's never too soon to learn about the IRISH, Hank. Here, let Nana read to you . . . .

"Henry's First Thanksgiving" . . . . . . and he gets prunes??????? Mom, Dad, Nana, and Popo have a tasty turkey dinner! Oh, well . . wait 'til next year!

Daddy says . . "Yeah, Hank . . .you won!"
Henry was waiting to get his "running" picture with Mommy, Nana, and Popo . . too!

November 24, 2011: Happy Thanksgiving! Jennifer, Rose Anne and I started Thanksgiving morning by participating in the Flying Feather 4 miler run/walk with 4000 other runners and walkers . . all eager to burn some calories to make room for their Thanksgiving feasts! It was a chilly 39 degree morning for the run through Glacier Ridge Metro Park in Dublin! A bottle of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages Red, a finishers medal, and food and beverages awaited each runner as they completed the race. Jennifer finished with a better than goal pace of 8:27, and Ted and Rose Anne both finished strong with the last mile being the quickest for both. Even the Turkey had a hard time keeping up with the "spring chickens"

We're ready to go, Nana!

Now I'm too tired! "The Boys!"

Nana came to see us! Rose Anne traveled to Saginaw to stay with the "boys" (Wes, Henry, and Tucker) while Jennifer attended a conference. Notice that Henry is sitting up proudly for his Nana. Tucker has learned quickly which toys are his! They visited Bronner's in Frankenmuth and Henry even took Nana to Mass on Sunday!
