November 21 – “Thanksgiving Feast”

It’s 5:30 in the morning and I just have a minute or two to post today.  We are headed to Richmond to be present for the “making it official” moment when Cedric Geswender actually becomes Cedric Geswender.  Very special moment and we are proud to be a part of it. 

Cailyn’s Thanksgiving Feast at school was yesterday.  We met her Daddy up there and took some pictures while she danced in her Indian vest and feathered headband and feasted on her goldfish and grapes and popcorn.  That would be the popcorn that Cailyn was certain looked just like poodles.  Had the little boy next to her convinced, too.  She didn’t keep the vest on long, though.  Said it was itchy.  Looked it.  I think it was just cramping her style, though.  She was also supposed to be one of the few pilgrim girls and switch to a bonnet instead of a headdress, but she changed her mind at the last second.  Just her shy around strangers streak coming out, I suppose.  All in all it seemed to be a fun experience.  She’ll probably be watching the video I made for years to come.  At least until she gets old enough to be embarrassed by it.  Then I’ll have to fight to keep her from deleting it.  That’s one I’ll have to back up for sure. 

Yikes.  Time to go already.  Yawn. 

Psalms 7:17 says, “I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.”

Father, grant your great blessings on the Geswender clan this morning and for many years to come.  Amen.
