Well, we had a good Thanksgiving. Carolyn, Samuel, and Neil, Sam's friend, came for supper and Stephen was here, as well (of course, he lives here). I took pics of Gabriel and Carolyn uploaded pics of Lilly from her camera. We had a great meal (my expert cooking while Claudia rested much of the day). I baked pumpkin pies made with almond milk and Splenda (Carolyn can't have milk and Claudia can't have the sugar), and lemon meringue pies with Splenda. I whipped up some potatoes (Claudia & I cleaned and peeled) and made the gravy with corn starch so Claudia could have some. I made the turkey so juicy throughout that even when we went to put it away it was still full of juices instead of dry.
What a day!! But it was fun having everyone over. Just one person missing--Lilly. She is still in the hospital acting like a premie and trying to figure out how to breathe when she eats. She just wasn't ready to come to dinner yet.
The pics are of Carolyn holding Lilly while in at the hospital and of Stephen and Gabe this evening.
Oh well. Enjoy the pics!!

Lilly is beautiful! My Lois - who w/b 17 on Sunday - was a preemie. And today she is an honor student. God has his own plans.
