Maybe next year..

Thanksgiving was a bit of a bust for us this year. In summary, we all had a virus that mutated a few times with varying symptoms that is still keeping us coughing and feverish, Owen had bleeding, oozing diaper rash, we had to call poison control after he sucked down a good dose of diaper cream, and he also got a bloody, fat lip after a nasty fall. The meal itself was a blast at our good friends' home - 8 adults, 7 kids ranging in age from 6 weeks to 8 years. Our little 2 year old host, Koen, clutched his stuffed frog close to his chest the entire time - we think he was a bit shell-shocked. And even though we kept Owen up way past his bedtime, he let us sleep until 6:30, and for that we were thankful. We did manage to make a few treks to the beach and some nature areas to let our little naturalist run wild.
