Thanksgiving eve


With Thanksgiving tomorrow, plans are to spend the day cooking the turkey and then an early dinner in Belen with all the Sanchez family. Janey is coming today and will stay with us, along with Nikki. Ariel and Chris arrive today, too, and we will spend all of Friday with them. We're thinking about taking the train up to Santa Fe, have some good New Mexican, and maybe stay for the tree lighting on the plaza before heading back.

Jackson was very excited when he got home. He wanted to show me what he taught himself on the computer. Remember MS-DOS? Command prompts? Batch files? Okay, I don't remember much of that, but there he was coding commands, creating his own shortcuts, all sorts of little apps, if you will, on his computer. I told him he was now doing old school computer and getting into the guts. He was very excited, and I could understand why. He'd figured out something on his own.

Rylee, meanwhile, wanted to build a Lego flashlight, and seemed to concede to Jack's electronics expertise. But, of course, Ry just hasn't had the exposure yet.

I talked briefly with Beth. Mom, Dad, Lisa and Sarah will be there for Thanksgiving. I asked her to resend Eric's posts from Rome. I think it's okay to show his link. A very impressive tour of Europe. It sounded like the family (with Emily and Gary, too, of course...just wanted to include them here) was making holiday plans to all meet up in Europe for the holidays.
