Thanksgiving Etc...

This past Thanksgiving has been a little crazy in our family. My husband, Dan, broke his elbow in 6 places and had to have surgery this past week. A plate and 7 screws were the answer to that. He now has limited use of his arm for a few weeks and will most likely need to go thru some therapy afterwards to get the use of his arm back 100%.

My nephew, Merrick, also had heart surgery. He is doing well and is a brave little trooper.

I also have a niece who has been battling some of her own demons for the the past year or so, and who has been "estranged" from our family for that time. She is making progress towards closing that gap and seems to be coming back to us.

But, with all that being said, I am still so blessed and thankful for all our wonderful friends and family and for all that we are blessed to have in this life. I have been off work this week for the Holiday and also to help out my husband. It has been a nice week to be home and to be with the family.

I have also been trying to get some more scrapping done since I haven't been able to devote as much time to it is as I'd like...
