Happy Thanksgiving 2009

I'm writing from the lake where we've just celebrated a wonderful feast! Attending were Grandma & Bob, Ju-Ju and Steve and Monte, Granny, Uncle Denny, Gran & Pop, Gigi, and Mommy, Daddy, and Dennis. We ate turkey and dressing and all the fixings and it was wonderful, of course. It was a special day and Dennis has been anticipating it for quite a while. We saw the Gallmans briefly last night as we picked up their dogs to care for and Dennis cried buckets when he figured out that Chloe was going somewhere that he wasn't going for Thanksgiving. He whimpered "I want to go to Thanksgiving" almost all the way home. Today when it was finally time to leave for dinner, he was ecstatic, announcing all the way to the lake "I'm going to eat Thanksgiving dinner!". When I asked him what he was thankful for, he yelled "CAKE!". He did a great job with eating his meal and enjoyed partying with the family and putting together the new puzzles that his Granny brought for him. I hope everyone had as nice a day as we had. I've been walking and running today to hopefully keep the damage minimal (7 miles total) and will probably be hitting the exercise bike tonight! I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends and very thankful that my body is capable of handling all the demands I've been putting on it lately. I am in the best shape of my life!
