The future looks bright for Morgan |
Happy Thanksgiving to y'all!
We had a short week in Fellows World.
ROUND TABLE was hosted by Blair and Katie and Frances and Nate and Maggie and Lucy Whitworth. They sprung for some Mrs. Pumpkin Chicken Pies. A personal favorite.
We wrote down things we were thankful for on these paper leaves and posted them on the "thankfulness" wall. The Whitworths do that kind of thing.
Frances showed us the project she has been working on for school (she used two Fellows as models - can you tell which ones?)
They are supposed to look scared and mean |
A striking resemblance wouldn't you say! |
Grace gave Maggie space buns.
Maggie is a great sport |
Thanks Whitworths for a great evening!
TUESDAY Tucker and I went through three baskets of chips and one very large Dos Equis at La Caretta as I got to listen to how things were going and where he was hoping to get.
I love my job.
THURSDAY through SATURDAY I was with family.
Twenty one of us and three dogs! |
We got to get loved on by Nathaniel Giles, my nephew |
We managed to get most of us in one picture |
More photos later.
