Sorry I've been absent lately!

Whew!  I've barely had time to breathe, and it seems that this weekend is the first weekend that I haven't had TONS of work to do, or other obligations.  It's good to just be at home!  Being a bit of a home-body, I am much like Harry Potter in that I have to return home to rejuvenate!

Here's what I've been up to lately!
Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington DC October 30

The Rally was great!  Mom and I drove down early in the morning and arrived about 11:15am.  We got great seats - not fabulous, but at least we could hear the rally!  It was amazing to be surrounded by so many people, see so many in one place there for a reason - the reason was different for everybody, but people came out to be on the Mall on a beautiful October Day.
My mom's birthday November 7
Jennifer and I surprised mom by fixing brunch (spinach and leek quiche, fruit salad with sugared almonds, spiced cornbread muffins, and cranberry cocktails!) and spending the day with her and dad.  She was so surprised, it was great!
Ubah's Baby Shower November 13th

Doesn't Ub look beautiful!  Her whole family was wearing pink and we had delicious Indian food and cake. This was the first time many of us had seen her pregnant and glowing and it was lovely to see her so happy and in her element.  She was also a trooper - barely had a chane to sit the entire time!
First time we'd met Anna!  Poor girl was sick, but she is so cute - we couldn't help oogling her!

We had a wonderful time at the baby shower- it was so good to see Ubah, and I can't wait to see that little girl!

Thanksgiving is coming this week and I'm so glad!  I will post more soon, promise!

Fine, very interesting as you enjoy the time with your family meeting at one place. It is in the most of part is leisured time this way but there are some changes in the modern time in family structure and sizes.
Now a days modern family is so called nuclear family doesn't have time to entertain each other gathering the whole family at place.
you are lucky.
thanks you
