Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had a pleasant day just hanging around the house, cooking and eating. Sue's sister came over from SC, and our friends Anne and Julie came over to share the feast with us. We watched Spiderman 3 in the basement to top the day off. Hope your celebration of our blessings was good!

Still "Going Steady"

Sue and I are celebrating our 25th annniversary of "going steady" today! I remember vividly how I gave her my class ring that night after her high school band had been at contest all day. It was exciting to be dating her then, and is still exciting to be dating her now :-) Woohoo!

Jacob did his Eagle Project today

He had a lot of people helping him, from his fellow Boy Scouts to parents/leaders in his Troop to friends from school and friends from church (many more than were around for the picture above). It was good to see him lead the efforts to put up the flagpole and do some landscaping around it at the local food pantry. You can see pictures of his and everyone else's efforts at http://picasaweb.google.com/davidholly/071110071117JacobSEagleProject.

Quick game on a Friday night

Well, I had a good week working in Virginia, and came home this afternoon. I took the family out to Fuddruckers hoping Jacob would get to eat an ostrich burger, but they didn't have ostrich here in Georgia. We went home with full bellies anyways, then played a quick game of dominoes (in honor of Sue's friend Cathleen being in town :-) It was a fun night, and I'm really glad to be home.

Happy Birthday, Megan!

Our beautiful daughter turns 14 today! Sue threw a slumber party for her and had 13 girls at the house overnight - whew! Megan said she "had a blast" and that she was up until 4:30am (obviously I wasn't there :-) Happy Birthday, baby!
