Well, after a week of eating rice, poor Joy was sick on the couch for 3 days. So much for adding that food back into her life. On the bright side, we can try corn in a couple weeks after her system has calmed down.
We're looking forward to a peaceful Thanksgiving at home tomorrow. We had hoped my parents-in-law might be able to join us, but they've had a rough year health-wise, so it's just us. On the menu: Irish stew, Caesar salad, broccoli (Crash's favorite), and chocolate quinoa cake. Friday we head to my parents for the traditional Thanksgiving fare. Can't wait to see everybody!
Giving thanks for something big that's happened with my husband's schedule. After my announcement about Joy's diet, which turned out to be a big flop, I'm hesitant to write this down, but... For the next several months, at least, Daddy has NO MORE NIGHT CALL!!! His latest evening will be 7:00pm. This is something of an experiment, so hopefully the new arrangement will work out just great for everybody.
And, we're all getting super-excited about the upcoming Nutcracker. We are loving our new ballet school!! The first in-studio dress rehearsal was last Saturday, and by all reports, it went really well!! Tonight, the kids will promote the show at our city's downtown Light Up Night by wearing their costumes and smiling big to sell tickets. :). Half the seats to each show are donated to local service organizations such as the Rescue Mission, Big Brothers Big Sisters, etc.
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you. Tell Joy to keep her chin up! Her allergies won't always be like this...eventually they will figure it out. She can offer it up for many things in our world. I will be praying for the Nutcracker and enjoy having Daddy home:)
