How can 23 people in a house for Thanksgiving feel like the house is empty?
HERE IS HOW---we have seven kids (with four spouses) and 17 grandkids---four of the kids, one of the spouses, and fourteen of the grand kids will be here along with one set of their grand parents for dinner today. Along with me and Inklings that makes a total of 23---so why the empty feel?
We will have three kids, three of their spouses and three grandkids that won't be there. That makes a huge hole in the family and makes it feel like the house is empty even though it is overflowing.
Oh well we had them all last year for the first time in quite a while and even had Psychodoctor take an impromptu picture of our kids with Inklings and I. It turned out really good. After everyone left we thought we should have taken another one with all of our kids, their spouses and us.
Ain't it interesting how hind sight is allways 20/20 or better? Maybe we'll get to have all of us together again in the near future. In the meantime there is a huge hole in our house today.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! :) I hope your sanity stays in check. lol
Love ya!
Well I didn't know the impromptu pic was going to be blown up and sent and emailed to everyone or it never would have happened. Its ugly of everyone. Second, I am having the time of my life gettong nikki back. After dinner in front of her husband I asked her to do the tradition of floppoing her belly on the table. You should have seen the look of horror on her new husbands face. Loving life right now.
Sorry you don't like the picture---it is way better than the one we had where TG was only 4---so sorry but I like the picture.
