Gobble, Gobble

We had a nice Thanksgiving. Keith’s mom came up for several days, and for the first time in too many years to count, my sister was here for the holiday. My 91 year old Grammi also joined us, but was having a little bit of an “off” day. My mom did a great job hosting. We also made a little visit to my Dad’s side of the family at my Grandma’s house (who passed away this summer. It was nice to see that side of the family, as I rarely do.

Koen especially enjoyed olives, a new discovery, and “helping” with the puzzle. He also learned to sign to a song for the first time, and could flap his wings like a turkey to “Gobble, Gobble, Gobble….”

Things are back to normal this week, until Monday when Keith leaves for Asia. He will be 16 hours ahead of our time, and closer to our daughter! That’s kind of a fun way of looking at it!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the day of the summit meeting between Vietnamese Adoption officials, and the US. Please pray that all goes smoothly, and it will improve the state of adoption in the country. Pray for protection over our relationship with Vietnam. Thank you. I’ll let you know when I hear how it went.
