Turkey, stuffing, pie's and all that jazz...

This year we went to our families place in Canton for Turkey Day. We had lots of food, fellowship and yummy chocolate pies. Not to mention a mean game of "washers". I have to brag on myself. I was able to "ring the washer". Yeah ME!

We had a good time sitting on the porch singing worship songs while Amber's bro Kyle accompanied us on guitar. Luke had fun picking up leaves and acorns. Daddy had fun scouting out the property (all 20+ acres) on foot with Uncle Jeff.

Then after all those festivities we headed back to Dallas. On 1-20 we followed a guy for approx. 20 miles as he swerved in and out of traffic. Being the ever so observant "undercover cops" that we are it was our civic duty to call 911. We did starting in Terrell, Then Forney, Then Mesquite. In the end, our faithful State Trooper busted this guy. We were starting to get frustrated that all the jurisdictions kept passing us off to the next on the phone. It was rewarding to see the Trooper come up behind us. We pulled over and hand-motioned for him to go around us as the swerver was in front of us. He was pulled over but then decided to run from the Trooper. We didn't stay around to see how the shakedown occured when the trooper caught up with him. I was told by the DPS dispatcher for us to stay far away from the guy because they were looking for him. Given the fact that the guy ran from the state trooper we're pretty confident that he was up to no good. We felt great that we contributed to getting one more wacko off the street this holiday weekend.

Granna made a trip to the hospital. She's been in such pain with intensely sharp back pains. Turns out she has a cracked rib in the back. Please pray with us for her healing.

When we made it home last night GranDee decided to stay the night so that she could watch the Apprentice 2 hr. special with us and not have to get home real late. So, she stayed and it was an interesting outcome on the Apprentice. I won't reveal who got fired since I know some of you reading haven't watched it yet.

This morning it was so adorable to hear GranDee on the monitor upstairs in Luke's room as she got him up, changed his diaper and read a few books. She's such a good GranDee and Luke loves her so much.

Now Lukey is napping, daddy is watching the UT vs. A&M game, and I am awaiting the end of an Ebay auction that I'm winning. Yipppee!!!

We missed Aunt Brooke, Uncle Bubbie, Mandy and Monkey Butt for Turkey Day but we got to talk to em' on the phone.

I'm so thankful for all the blessings the Lord has given us this year. Health, prosperity, lots of sweet friends, family. I love my husband and son more than life itself. Hope you all have a great holiday with family and friends.
