Great News!! Carrie, Jim and Finn are coming home for Christmas. They arrive on Dec. 21 and will stay until Dec. 27. Finn is very excited - and so are Grandpa and I. The New Yorkers are still planning to come home, but haven't firmed up the dates. I hope everyone is thinking about getting a Christmas wish list together. We're going to send out the grab bag names to you soon, and you'll need to send me your wish list so I can pass it on.

Chuck, Eileen and the kids will spend Thanksgiving Day with us, as will Great-Grandma. We're looking forward to "turkey day" with them.

Hey Sam - how about posting a blog??? Do you have any pictures you could post? You're really good at that.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
