Thanks

Some pictures from the week surrounding Thanksgiving. Not many because of the events that took place immediately thereafter.

Kyle participated in a study about preschoolers’ television watching patterns. There was no box for “watches TV all the time” on the paper survey, so they sent a researcher to the house. She played with Kyle using little household items from her box and talked and asked questions of him. He was a model subject, using the items to play in imaginative ways. I sat around the corner, listening. When the woman left, Kyle looked up at her with his big eyes and said “I love you” then gave her a big hug. He got a nifty magnifying glass in return and we’ll be receiving an Amazon.com gift card and a set of “educational” DVD’s.

One half of the Honea family, our guests for the holiday. No photographic evidence of the adults to display here – just picture Whit sprawled on the couch with a beer in his hand, and Tricia helping me clean up toys in Kyle’s room.

Random picture of Brady with yogurt smeared all over his face.

These were taken just before the cab picked up my mom and Dad. It doesn’t matter how long they stayed or how soon we’ll see them again. It’s always hard to say goodbye.
