Ahh, What a Life!

Although the forecast this afternoon was for rain it stayed sunny and warm until late in the afternoon, so we enjoyed another morning outside and yet another picnic lunch with smoothies. Sadie was keeping watch a little ways away and Clara decided at first to go pet her, then thought she needed to lie down with her. Ahhhh, this is the life, basking in the sun next to a good dog....

We are traveling south to spend Thanksgiving with the Pinckney side of the family this year and we are all SO excited about our trip! Lately every time we say Psalm 100 together, when we get to the line, "enter His gates with thanksgiving" Clara pauses and says, "We are going to Grammie's house for Thanksgiving!!!" Today she asked, "Who will be there?" so we listed all the names of family members who will be present (a long list!). When we got done she said, "Let's talk 'bout names again!" We spent a good portion of this afternoon rehearsing the names of all attending family - hopefully this will help her warm up to people more quickly in person once we get there too! When she woke up from her nap she was ready to go to Grammie's house, but then remembered, "In two weeks Mama. We go in two weeks." That's right little girl, and we can't wait!
