We're of course immensely thankful for all we have, and all that God has blessed us with (and the floods, earthquakes, etc. kept away from us!). Here in this life, we have loving families and our beautiful Ellie (Elizabeth! quoth the mother) to care for and raise. And after this life, of course, we have an eternity of fellowship with Christ Jesus through God's grace.
Yet in light of that, we're still pretty disappointed with the last week. We were in Cincinnati on Wednesday when we got word (fairly randomly -- Tina heard it from a woman in a store) that an Alberta clipper was making its way toward Cleveland for Thanksgiving morning. We did our best weather-predicting and decided it wasn't worth the risk to take Ellie through that kind of weather. Were it just us & Snickers, we'd've taken the chance, but not with the baby. So we nixed the journey up north and didn't get to see my family. Apparently, it was a pretty wise move - from Medina on up, the weather and the driving got pretty rough, from what I heard.
So we'll do our best to make it up at Christmas, but it would've been nice to be there this weekend.
