I haven’t posted any pictures of Maddox and Sydney in a while, but I couldn’t resist posting this picture from the Oregonian’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving – we had 20 at dinner (Maddox and Sydney included), lots of turkey, ham, at least 15 pies, mushrooms, potatoes, brussel sprouts, and conversation. Plus, we have a new (well, used, but new to us) stove, which worked SO much better than our old stove did. (Imagine, being able to cook with all four burners!) I hope that everyone here had a great day yesterday, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not.<\/p>\n

    By the way, that’s Sydney on the left and Maddox on the right. I think. The two of them have been mistaken for twins, so it can be hard to tell. Sydney is now nine, and Maddox is seven. Probably there are folks reading this post who were reading this blog when they were born. Weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
