Hitting the Road for the Holidays

Hello friends! I hope this finds you doing well!!

I thought I would go ahead and check in now as I don't know that I will be able to send something out next week as...(gulp!) we are heading over to my parent's vacation home where they are without internet AND NO TV!! This will be a true getaway for us for sure as we are on the internet all day long for work, school, etc. so that is technology withdrawal in and of itself, but....no tv?!! Wow!! We are actually going to have to do this thing called...spending quality time with family - LOL! I am really looking forward to it actually...I have packed along a craft project, some baking ingredients, christmas cards and our Shoebox for Children items so we can assemble those and drop them off before the deadline. Speaking of packing though...I have not even started packing my clothes yet nor my youngest child's, so I best get going! (I am also potty-training that youngest child, so packing involves so much more as you parents know...a potty, LOTS of extra clothes, cleaners for the potty...!). Good thing we have a cargo trailer - the more I jot down what we are taking the more I realize how much it is...does anyone else have this problem?! :-) Between our four kids bags, sleeping bags and pillows and the "lack of technology" past time items we are taking, plus the potty-training items - we look like we are heading out of town for months! How did we pack in just 1 trunk before?!

Before I head out ...I wanted to leave you with a great website I found that has all sorts of fun Thanksgiving crafts and treats. Check out: http://www.familycorner.com/newsletter/whats_new.shtml

May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving...whether your are surrounded by family and friends or celebrating on your own, it is a special time to remember the blessings the Lord bestows upon us throughout the year. Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!
