A Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving celebration this past weekend. We were in Union on Thursday for lunch with the Wilburn family at my Aunt Patsy's. It's a small crowd, only about 40 to 50 people! It's fun to see lots of cousins and extended family that we don't get to see often. We headed to Mama Belk's for dinner that night (a more manageable group of only 20 people). We drove down to the beach that night and spent the weekend with Jay's parents. It was great to have a few days to relax before the December rush begins.

Last week Catherine's class had a special Thanksgiving feast and celebration on Tuesday. The girls were Indians and the boys were pilgrims. They sang some cute little Thanksgiving songs and poems. They each walked in and were introduced on their own while the teacher read what they're thankful for. Most kids said they were thankful for things like "mom, dad, Jesus, etc". Catherine, however, was thankful for her clothes. That's my fashionista :)

On a separate note, but something we are very thankful for, Will is done with speech therapy! He had his 6 month evaluation a week or two ago and scored much better. While he still is slightly behind for his age, it's only 2%-5% behind, which is close enough to be in the "normal" range. He was also evaluated by an ENT last week for any structural abnormalities of his mouth and throat and he had his hearing checked. Everything looked great with both of these, so he is offically done now. We are so thankful for the progress he has been making and how hard he is working to learn and use his words.
