Turkey Day

Lots of play time (Mingo, Roxy, Lizzie)

We hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. We spent ours at Mark's parent's house in Cross Plains. Although we traditionally have a large lunchtime meal, I think we had our big meal when everyone else in the state had it...AFTER THE PACKER GAME!

The meal was outstanding, as usual. I'm not just saying this to be a brown-noser, but my mother-in-law is really a phenomenal cook. I'm doubly lucky because Mark is such a fantastic cook too (he was in charge of preparing the bird this year).

We spent the day with Mark's parents (Van and Judy), his godparents (Oscar and Karen), and his brother and future sister-in-law (Greg and Renee). Of course we all had our hounds with us too, for a total of 5 in the pack. The dogs had a great day, with 2 walks, a special dinner and ham bones. The three young ones (Lizzie, Mingo and Roxy) wrestled quite a bit and the two older ones (Greg's dogs, Abby and Sam) sat and received lots of pets and attention from the more sedentary people folk.

Laurie,

We were glad to hear from you on Thanksgiving Day-- thanks for sharing all the nice pictures from your meal with the Valaskeys.

Mom brought Coco a little blaze orange dog vest (it reverses to camo on the other side). I'll have to post a picture of that for you...

Check out my blog! I updated it yesterday with photos from our latest visit with you and other cool stuff, including the latest ultrasound photo!
