We are now 2 days past Thanksgiving, the boatload of snow we had earlier in the month is mostly gone and the weather see-saws between winter and fall. This afternoon we decided to make pancakes and bacon...A very Saturdayish thing to do.
Jordan popped by on his break to enjoy them with us.
A couple weeks ago my parents came up for a visit.

My dad shares my love of color and has thus far kept Buirlen supplied in a swirl of colorful tie dye. We like it!
While my parents were here, my dad's cousin Viv was also in town visiting her family, our good friends Andrew and Katy. So we had dinner together. 3 generations of cousins around our supper table.

Grandpas are such a good thing to have in one's life!

Last weekend, my good friend, Larisa, traveled North to attend the Sound of Music with me. It was a lovely production. Buirlen stayed home with Daddy and his cousins and had a grand ole time.
Having fun with Uncle Jordan.
Jordan and I were discussing the other day about how, when we were kids, we would imagine that the specks of dust floating in a beam of sunlight were horses and we would then ride the the horses by jumping around in the light. I have no idea how this got started, but it made me all sentimental this morning to watch Buirlen discover the specks of dust floating in the mid morning sunlight as it streamed into the living room.
Playing with Daddy....Mr. Buirlen is starting to walk around furniture.

I was feeling in the mood to be festive the past couple of days. So I made a pot of spiced cranberry punch.

Happy Saturday.
