Crawfords and Sand

25 November 2007 - An 80 degree F Thanksgiving is not exactly what we are accustomed to but it was very special as we were able to spend it with Matthew and his extended family. The Florida Crawfords and the Traveling Crawfords were invited to share the day with Lori's Uncle Tom and Aunt Sharon here in Florida and the food was much too tasty (for my weight control program). I did manage to try the delicious food only one time around and am doing damage control for the rest of the week. Thanks once more to Tom and Sharon for sharing their home. They had hosted the rehearsal dinner for Dave and Lori's wedding a couple of years ago and it was good to see them again.

The only thing missing for Becky and I was our 'Missouri Kids' - James and Missey but at least we managed to share the holidays with both of them during our last couple of years in Lebanon.

The photos:

Lori captured Matthew's first Thanksgiving, took the obligatory Three Dave's photos and captured Matthew in a very alert pose which is becoming much more common these days.

They are followed by two more Sandcastle photos which I thought worthy of a post.

Hope all of our friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had as much to be thankful for as the Crawfords did - and remembered to give that thanks!


 
There is no such thing as a 'bad' photo of Matthew.

 

There were three Dave Crawfords born in the 20th century (the first just barely missed the 19th century) and now the first one in the 21st century. Please note that Crawford the Middle is not sharing Crawford the Younger with Crawford the Elder.

At least there is an improvement in looks in the younger generations (more to be thankful for!).


 

Matthew is really growing now. Notice how intent he is watching Becky and how much longer he looks! Now if he will only meet us at the door!!!!! (just dreaming)
