A long weekend in Ephrata for Thanksgiving
turned into 10 days of an
extended stay with Michael in the
hospital for emergency gall bladder
surgery. Here he is with
his new beard, that he grew during
his illness!
Fred took wonderful care of us while westayed for longer than expected!
We enjoyed Thanksgiving Day with Michael's brotherand his family!
The boys had a great time trying out their snowboardson a hill outside the neighborhood where Michael
grew up. They did really well! (Much better than I
had expected they would-I tried to lower their
expectations before they started and told
them to remember that it would be really
hard to balance and that they might fall often!)
