Here are just a few pics from our Tennesee trip for Thanksgiving.

Donnie is doing great from his surgery. I have to watch him close because he doesn't want to rest. He is getting better everyday, and learning and accepting his limits.

And here are some of the latest from "Emilyland":

*I asked Emily, just in casual conversation, when she was going to start peepeeing in the potty. Her answer was "Tuesday!!"

*While Donnie and I were in the hospital, and she was home with Grandma, she would ask where we were and Grandma told her Daddy was getting his neck fixed and Mommy was helping!! I can only imagine what her little mind thought.

*When Daddy first came home she was very concerned about him, but we just reasured her that Daddy was better. She would say, "Poor Daddy!!"

*We had been telling her for several days that she was going to spend the day with Aunt Trudy. Seems like the only time we have been to Aunt Trudy's has been for her children's bithday parties which have included a pony and an inflatable jumper, so she thinks that is normal for Aunt Trudy's house. She kept saying "jump!" When I asked her this morning where she was going today, her answer was "China!!!" Daddy just told her to be home before dark!!

*I put the tree up today. It is not decorated yet. When she came in and saw it, she was in awe. She continues to go up to it and smell it. It is an artificial tree!!
