What a wonderful day the three of us spent together, David's only off day in the foreseeable future. We worked on things around our home today and spent lots of time playing with Dennis. Dennis was so happy about all the togetherness, and I think we all three feel the contentment and renewal of a day spent at home with our own little family.
We all made some ornaments together this evening, setting up "our own Santa's workshop" as Dennis called our library/craft room tonight. David make turkey, stuffing, and green beans for supper and surprised us with some sparkling grape juice that he'd bought, turning our little family day into a real special occasion. We called it a little Thanksgiving preview, and we loved it!
The morning was spent sorting Legos into his new Lego organizer system and then riding bikes outside. Today he was thankful for "the family we got in this whole wide world." I wonder if it's a reference to Gigi going to meet family way over in Scotland--our family is spread pretty far in the world right now.
Dennis seemed to realize he was home about 4:45 this morning, and he sort of sleep-walked into our room and told us his bed had cracked. We went to check (as he climbed back in) and didn't see anything different about it. He said sleepily "there's a hole here I could fall down into" and we looked to see him indicating with his little pointing finger the inch-and-a-half gap between the mattress and headboard. We moved his pillow to cover it, assured him he wouldn't fall in, and watched as he yawned "okay" and fell immediately to sleep. I wonder what he was dreaming!
The picture is from his stay with Gran and Pop yesterday. Army Man Dennis (as we must call him when the hat is on) is in the middle of a covert op stalking Bad Guy Koi, I suppose. Looks like fun to me!
