Thanksgiving

While we missed being back in Indiana for Thanksgiving, Cecilia and I were thrilled to have Martha & Jesse in town from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving through the following Sunday. For those of you who don't know who Martha & Jesse are, Martha is Cecilia's younger sister. Martha and Jesse got married a couple months after my wife and I; and, it just so happens that their first child is scheduled to be born about a month after ours. So, to say that we have a couple things in common may be a bit of an understatement. Anyhow, we had a great time. A few highlights, for me anyway, would be the fires Jesse and I had in the back yard nearly every night after our pregnant wives went to bed (There is almost nothing better than sitting around a fire and sharing good conversation with someone you really like to share time with), the Thanksgiving meal the four of us shared at Maggiano's (Despite being at a restaurant instead of our mother's, aunt's or grandmother's house, this was a terrific meal), and the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philly (not Macy's, but a pretty impressive parade). It was really good to spend the holiday with Mart and Jesse-- we will be looking forward to their next visit.
