Thanksgiving

A Thanksgiving tradition, Namie, Beebop and Nan came to Texas to help us celebrate. To avoid the stress of cooking, we have found a wonderful restaurant that does an AMAZING family style Thanksgiving meal with every protein and side one could ever dream of. The Grandparents' visit also included the Houston Thanksgiving Day parade and a trip to the Houston Zoo.
Unfortunately, only days after the family departed, Mike came down with viral meningitis. I have never seen him so sick. He was mainly quarantined to the bedroom for a week. One day, Mike commented, "I feel mainly better except it hurts to move my eyes'....if that is 'better' than that is an indication of HOW sick he was. We're thankful Mike is healthy again and we are knocking on wood that we all stay healthy in 2011.
