K sent a little video of e taking a couple of steps while at his mom's for Thanksgiving. Hurray! Sarah and Erik were there, and it looks like Sarah actually launched e toward her grandma, then her dad. A plastic water bottle was apparently e's goal. This is a real milestone, learning to walk. Guess what we will work on at Grandma Bootcamp this week?
Our dinner at Dena's was lovely. A congenial group of people gathered to eat delicious food and talk. On Friday we ate out with our Anti-Senility Seminar, then played Apples to Apples before serving date cake. And last night several friends came over for supper and games. I suggested they bring Thanksgiving leftovers if they wanted; I made a pot of chili because we did not have any leftovers except date cake. The evening went smoothly, and I think everyone, even the 8 year old boy, enjoyed themselves.
Advent begins today. I brought out our wreath and placed candles in it. Maybe Randy and I will take a walk this afternoon. It is chilly, but sunny. Tomorrow night I return to Phoenix; I have enjoyed this longer time at home.
We figured out that the trick to a successful launch is to make sure e's balanced before drawing attention to her goal. She loves those bottles!
