The much delayed Thanksgiving post is here. It's been a hectic few weeks. First leading into the holiday with all the responsibilities that come with hosting, then the weeks following which included Kristopher's 6-day trip to India. So forgive me for not posting sooner, but it really has been difficult finding the time!Anyway, Thanksgiving was a success, and Esme sampled everything from the turkey to the stuffing, sweet potatoes to mashed potatoes. She really seemed to enjoy herself. She loves having her family near (especially her beloved Ella), and it's a treat to watch her find her place among this motley assortment of characters.
So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to express my appreciation for Esme's family. She is a lucky girl indeed, from all her wonderful aunts. Each one unique and uniquely special to her (what's more, thanks to them she also has loving uncles in her life). To her full set of grandparents. I grew up without the benefit of grandfathers. Seeing Esme interact with hers is especially meaningful to me. Plus she's already forged such special relationships with her Nama and Nana, it's hard to believe she's only known them a mere 16 months. I was just chuckling watching her have a full conversation with her Nana on the phone last night. Walking around, phone to ear, responding to every, long-distance word. In addition to her grandmas, Esme even has great grandmas and a great grandpa too. All of whom hold very special places in her heart.Well, perhaps this expresses it all best...
Clap! Clap! Clap!
