Happy Thanksgiving!

While AJ & I spent a wonderful Thanksgiving -- full of great food, delicious homemade wine, and warm thoughts of Jack -- with my family, Susie & Paul were keeping the home fires burning on Mars:

Caramel apple pie, with a gingerbread layer (and a fierce game of Bananagrams)

Homemade apple cider

Feast!

Pickles, meanwhile, celebrated spending a contented week with friends in the way that best expresses her happiness -- snoozing:

We are very, very thankful for the love and support of our friends and families, particularly during this difficult time. Thank you all so much!
