Thankful

Last Thanksgiving, we had no idea how long our wait to adopt would be. We had just applied to the Waiting Child program for children with special needs and knew it could be weeks or months or years before we received a referral. In our case, it was 10 days. It will come as no surprise that this year we are thankful for our happy, healthy monkey. I am also thankful for a Thanksgiving that involves 20 pounds of meat and my complete immediate family, college basketball, the machine in the doctor's lounge that makes a mean cup of hot chocolate and the fact that winter should be over in about 6 months.

Happy Turkey Day!
