This year we have the rare opportunity to spend the holidays with family in our home country.  We’ve already enjoyed two different family Thanksgiving dinners and a Thanksgiving dinner at church too.  The week of Thanksgiving was a very hard one for my (Jennifer’s) grandmother.  She was in a great deal of pain due to […]
