Happy Thanksgiving Day

It is Thanksgiving Day and I am thankful for every so many things.

My brother and sister, and my extended family.
I have a job I love and wonderful co-workers.
My circle of friends has grown to include Kazakhstan AP and PAP.
I have new 'sisters' who are there every step of this journey to parenthood.
My file is in Kazakhstan and I'm waiting for my LOI.

My brother, sister and I have a tradition started when my mother was alive, where we go to the local Pioneer Village for Thanksgiving dinner. We've carried on the tradition since Mum's passing. (Oh, and I'm thankful I didn't have to cook or clean up after Thanksgiving dinner. - my mother didn't raise a fool!)

Last year the weather was warm and mild. We had a delightful lunch and enjoyed our walk around the village.

This year it was very cool, in fact we became very cold walking around after lunch. We were thankful for winter coats and hats.

We had a delightful time, however as we sat in the dining room, I could help but think that last year I was certain we'd be sharing our meal with a little person. As we ate dinner I told my brother that I'm 99 per cent sure that NEXT year, I will have a little person at the table.

Come on LOI, coming to mummy to be!
