Happy Thanksgiving!

As we said our blessing over the Thanksgiving meal today we prayed for our family back home. We hoped for happiness for all of you and thankful hearts for ourselves. Even though you all are miles and miles away, it still feels like you are close to us and I can only guess that's because you were close (emotionally) before. It sounds so cheesy but I will just say it any way - you are with us in spirit because you are a part of our hearts!!

Audrey is sort of depressed today. She keeps asking for someone to come over for Thanksgiving. Of course there isn't anyone but it is comforting to her to know her Grandparents are coming over next week. She had the idea today to do ''toasts" to things we were thankful for during our meal so that made it kind of special.

Rynn is feeling sick. She's been having a tummy ache that comes and goes and has spent most of the morning just lying down.

Adam must have been feeling festive. He cooked our Thanksgiving turkey, his first one ever, today. We got some ''Cajuny'' things in the mail from his Mom and Dad a couple of days ago - Boudreaux Butt Paste, Zapp's chips, and some Cajun Injector. If only we could get okra and boudin in the mail! He was pretty excited about the Injector and used that on the turkey.

I was pretty excited about the chips. Oh how I have wished for some Cajun Craw Taters over the past few weeks and to get a whole box of them in the mail was like Christmas. Thank you Mrs. Joyce and Mr. Carl!!! As for today I made muffins this morning and the sides for dinner. Mom and Rachel called this morning and I am always so thankful that you guys keep in touch. Rachel, Rachel, Rachel - THANK YOU for calling me OFTEN. Even Adam has said he is really impressed with you. I am absolutely terrible about making phone calls but always so happy to receive them. We bought new phones a couple of weeks ago because we just weren't getting service with the old ones. If you'd like our phone number or address, please just send me an email at mrskerry@kajnmail.com.

I'm trying to get this up in a hurry but I will post some more today, including photos. Going to go ahead and publish this one now though. I love you all and I am missing you!
