We enjoyed our first turkey (at least I think it was turkey!) meal with Dylan at school last Friday. The cafeteria/gym was abuzz with parents and children. Dylan and his friend Michael led us through the line Because Dylan had guests he could eat at the tables on the stage. He thought that was cool.

As you can see we had a special guest with us. Flat Stanley arrived in our mailbox last week. Cousin Clara sent him from her school as part of a classroom assignment. Her class had read the story of Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. In the story, the main character, Flat Stanley, was flattened by a bullitin board. Although he was not hurt, he became as flat a pancake! When he wanted to go to California to visit some friends, his family folded him up, put him in an envelope, and mailed him to California. As a class project, Clara sent her Flat Stanley to spend the holidays with us in Wyoming. We look forwrad to sharing our lives with him in the coming weeks before sending him back to Georgia to report on his adventures. We better hold on to him tight. With the Wyoming winds he is likely to take flight along with the leaves!
