Happy Thanksgiving from the Ranch!

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged and I'm excited to get this back and up and running!

I am just recently semi-retired! Not sure what to call it, but I've decided to take a year or two off of work and catch up, reset, restore and spend time with the kids. It was nice to be home with them for the week of Thanksgiving. We slept in, decorated for Christmas, got in some doctors appointments and went to Hermann Park! We decided to skip the zoo and for the first time, got to ride the pedal boats! The kids loved it, although I let them drive/steer and they argued like a married couple most of the time on which way to go, how hard to pedal, etc.  They chased some sweet little baby duck and we saw a turtle too.  So simple, but so fun. Afterwards we rode the train. It was a gorgeous day!

For the first time in awhile we decided to head to the ranch for Thanksgiving. So many family members were there and the weather was perfect! My Uncle Tony and Aunt Ruth has restored the original ranch house and it is just gorgeous. We ate a lot and the kids enjoyed shooting guns too! The kids stayed with Nene and Uncle Jay in the RV and enjoyed all the animal creatures that came to visit in the mornings and evenings. 

Thank you to Uncle Tony & Aunt Ruth and everyone else who cooked for us! It was wonderful and we have so much to be Thankful for!
