Thanksgiving

Well, it worked again. Many people in the house at once. This time, our two kids and the Buschelman kids: Dom age 2, Will age 4 months. It was fun seeing the kids interact with each other. We had the actual Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday since Robert worked Friday and Eric didn't arrive until Friday. It was very good, with everyone pitching it. We had Nana and Li'l Opa; Eric, Liesel, Dominic and Will; Mitzi; and us 4 (well, really 5...). See the pictures page for all the pics, already with captions!

It's been snowing off and on for the last few days. Nothing major sticking, at least not for very long. I am done with November, the worst working month of the year. I worked 4 of the 5 weekends at the hospital, and the other weekend at Mendota moonlighting. Plus, I was on an inpatient month, which is always a hard rotation. For December I'm on epilepsy, which has a few inpatients but mainly is reading EEGs and going to epilepsy clinics. Much easier.

Katie's feeling fine at 14 weeks. A little tired and has a bad head cold, but handling the kids pretty well. Just a few more weeks and we'll be in Kansas and Missouri. Then, only a few more weeks until we know the gender!

Pre-Thanksgiving

Well, it is the week of Thanksgiving. More importantly, Mitzi is here! She has come up for her annual (2nd annual!) week in Madison. We have been enjoying having another adult (Mitzi's an adult?) around to talk to...and play Wii with! Oh...and help with the kids. We bought a new snowblower today--one of our biggest purchases ever, after the house and cars. It's a Madison snowblower--capable (hopefully) of dealing with the big snowstorms. Maybe Mary Ann can even ride on it.

Many people are coming up on Wednesday: the Buschelmans, L'Opa, Nana and Oma. Not Casey, as Mary Ann keeps asking about; the dog will stay in Missouri. Robert's parents are staying in KC to host the Salina family for T-day.
