Ready for world series

Unfortunately no stations that I get are carrying the games.  Is this capitalism? How many sports channels do you need to subscribe to to get the bloody world series?

T shirt says it all

Kids are so lucky to have had such a great thanksgiving with their grandparents.  The little turkeys were stuffed by the end of it.  Grandma took charge of the spread with a little help along the way from grandpa and me.
The kids did their part by being keen observers and polite little hosts.  Rabid football fans, too!

Thanksgiving leftovers

Day two is even better!

Thanksgiving

Grandma and Grandpa paid a visit to John Adam for the first time, helping out for the annual thanksgiving breakfast.  It was good for Emma's class to finally meet the grandparents Emma has been talking about for the past few weeks.
Next week Emma will be presenting the family cookbook, written by grandma, to her class as her family treasure.

Operation distraction

We had to explain irreconcilable differences to the kids yesterday.  I think it was the toughest thing I've ever been through, and this is just the beginning.
I took them to a fun, familiar place, the Jean Talon market, for most of the afternoon.  We also bought a few things at Wal-Mart and stopped at st-viateur bagel.
It gave them a chance to just hang out with dad, ask a few questions, but mostly just carry on with life as usual.
Weather was beautiful, people were nice.  In other circumstances, it would have been a perfect day.
