Thanksgiving 2014

 For several years now, our family has collected fall leaves to make a tree of gratitude on Thanksgiving.  We didn't have quite as many trees to choose from, but luckily the park next door had one that was plentiful.  It was nice to have Sarah to participate with us for the first time.

Found these on Pinterest and had fun making them.

Dinner was at Chuck's house.  Grandpa got some good snuggles.

The good news is, my dad's tumor has no noticeable change.

The bad news is, I am wondering if I made the right choice to stay in CA.  Will have to wait for the weather to warm up before considering it.  Still taking it a day at a time.

Now that we know we are going to be here through the Winter and Spring, I thought it was time to make some changes and make this space more liveable for our family.  My dad doesn't really use his office anymore, so I asked if we could turn it into another bedroom.  He was OK with it, so I go to work.  I was able to put my mom's dresser in the garage and make that wall into the same setup he had with his rolltop desk in the office.  I put his chair and end table in the corner by the window, similar to how it was.  We moved the desk in the back bedroom into the office, and now Akasha has her own computer set up and dresser!

This setup is going to free up more space in the back bedroom as well.  Great all around!
