haPPy gOBBLe '08

this year we decided to stay put in charlottesville,
and have thanksgiving with our neighbors, the robles
(aka 'the family with five'...soon to be six!).
our childrens' age to states visited ratio
is ridiculously high (hutch-15, elsa-5),
and after a stressful few months of
a newborn, interviewing, and test-taking,
thanksgiving proved be a peaceful
time of healing for our little family.
the strains have been and will be worth it
for our the upcoming chapter of our lives,
but i can't tell you how happy i am they are behind us.
here's a combined look at our turkey day and
our beautiful elsa's 3-month pictures.
she's a rollin' over, giggling, smiling, cuddling ball of joy, with
a healthy dose of tears mixed in when the situation calls for it.
we are so thankful.....
