Thanksgiving & 8 months

This past weekend we celebrated a joyful Thanksgiving (and our annual Friendsgiving), as well as Clover Pie turning 8 months old! We assembled at Casa Klein in Philly, enjoyed the usual delicacies, celebrated Shabbanukah, did some Black Friday Shopping, and had a day of adventure in Center City.  Sender loved the action and the foods--he really got into the meal aspect of Thanksgiving. He also turned 8 months old, slept pretty well in the travel crib, is cutting his front tooth, and says "mamamamam" to get everything he wants!  What a baby! The big kids loved being with family and playing with their cousins (and reading all the books from the library).  And through love and togetherness we had a joyful time, even though we miss Rich so. His absence is noticeable, and to me, it still does not seem real that he is gone.
