Thanksgiving

We had a busy Thanksgiving weekend. Luckily I had a four day weekend to fit everything in. We went to our family friends house for a great Thanksgiving dinner (we brought Kai and Jim's mom too). Our friends from MN were visiting, so it was great to see them. They also have two kids, so it was very fun and lively night! On Friday, I had an acupuncture session in the morning, then, we all went to Yellow River Game Ranch (near Stone Mtn) with the kids. You can feed and pet the animals and it was really fun - although if you are going to go, I recommend you go in spring or fall. Then, at night, our friend took Jim & me to an ice hockey game (Thrashers). Although we didn't win, we had a great time! I like ice hockey better than baseball or football, because the game is very fast and they make it very entertaining. If you haven't been to a game lately, I highly recommend it!
Saturday, I finally got out to shop but I was done after 30 min since I was too tired to look anymore. This morning, we got up early and went to Mt. Paran Church of God. I've been wanting to go to a church for a while and we found out that Mt. Paran has a nursery, so we finally went today. (Jim's mom used to go there when she was active.) They have a beautiful building with a great nursery. If you have kids and want to go to a church, I highly recommend this place. Mt. Paran is a unique church because they are very lively and do lots of music and they are really good music. So before the sermon begins, you feel like you are in a concert. During the sermon, if your kid needs you, they flash a number (each kid is assigned a number) on a screen so you can get to the nursery. I really like this system. Also, compared to some of the local church services (which I've been watching on TV lately), their sermon is more lively and more uplifting, I thought. Anyway, I had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving also!

Mizuho-
Glad you found a good church! We are thinking & praying for you!!

If you ever get any energy, you all need to head up here & let the girls take care of Kai for the weekend & we can visit.

Also, I didn't take the gals for their first dental appointment until 2 or 3 yrs old. The dentist told me that was fine-unless he eats lots of sugar :) Then, maybe you would want to get him checked over.

Hi Rose,
Thanks for the message! Ok, so we don't have to take Kai in to the dentist for a while. I'll just wait until all his teeth come out. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!

I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving. It sounds like Mt. Paran might be the church that you and Jim have been looking for.

Can't wait to see you this weekend!
