This picture was taking on Thanksgiving afternoon. I wanted a new family picture, which most of you received with our letter a couple of weeks ago, and we got a few extras that I love. This is one of those. That day, Jack got it into his head that he wanted to wear a tie like Kyle -- although, Kyle was not wearing a tie that day. Kyle gave him this one and he wore it for most of the day. Molly took this picture of us. I know that Jack is not smiling but I still like the "look" of the picture. He looks so old in this one. But enough of that rambling ... Today the kids are off of school for a teacher grading day. Back in my day, the teachers had to grader on the weekend or after school. I do not remember them taking a day to grade. But enough of that rambling ... Molly is at a friend's house for a playdate, and Jack and I are at home. As I was fixing his lunch, I told him it was like old times ... like when he was a baby and it was just the two of us. Of course, he could not talk with me. He pointed out that there were smiles and coos, but no conversation. I teased him that there was no "mom can i please have one more handful of cheezits, etc!" We both laughed. Jack is still "recovering" from being sick. This has made him more loving and wanting to snuggle with me more. I have cherished it because he does not always want a hug from his mom. Needless to say ... we are enjoying the house with just the two of us.! Kyle is in Washington for presbytery, by the way!

I love this picture of the two of you! Jack, I like you in a tie, you look very handsome. I remember all of those snuggles when he was little....glad you two had some mom and Jack time. I sure miss you all..
Glad to hear Jack is better...what a week plus! Stay well....glad I have had the flu vaccine this year. Sounds like a great afternoon resting and rejoicing in the delights of motherhood.
