Ba-Ba Nana

Ba-Ba and Nana are here from Florida, along with their cat Daisy, and Velcro their poodle. They've been immensely helpful with getting things ready for Thanksgiving - and getting things moved from the old house.

Madison is thrilled. She loves all of her grandparents very much, nearly giddy with excitement. Madison is no respecter of persons: she jumps all over anyone, really, and Ba-Ba is no exception! It's been a pleasant week, despite Daddy's long working hours. We've all been sitting on the couch together watching Christmas movies.

Tonight we watched a little BBC: it was "Blackadder's Christmas Carol," which if you know anything about the characters, is not your typical Christmas movie. The tree is nearly done, and the house is festive with seasonal decorations for the harvest. How content to see it all after a lengthy day working.

We brought the long table in from the old house, and it is currently resting in the dining room where we'll be having our Thanksgiving feast. Madison has been helpful, moving things to the car - and then from the car to the house. We have to be sure to carry along in the car some items that she's capable of carrying, that way she can feel useful. She's a sweetie.
