Happy Thanksgiving! Though we are thousands of miles away, we're still celebrating Thanksgiving. We have today and tomorrow off of school and are going to have a real turkey dinner with friends this afternoon. 20 people will gather and celebrate at our friends' house. Tom has signed up to bring baked beans, and I'm bringing lefse and krumkake. Well, the plan is to bring lefse. I haven't actually made it yet, but I've got 7 hours to pull it together.
This year, we're thankful for many things...
1. Each other- this is our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple. We are blessed.
2. Families- We each have 2 now!
3. Friends near and far.
4. Ruby- our dog has brought us countless hours of entertainment, love, and a bit of mischief already!
5. Technology- keeps us connected with those we love all over the world
6. Health- the human body has the miraculous ability to come back from so much.
7 Nieces and nephews- whenever we see pictures of those kids, we can't help but smile. Happy first Thanksgiving Christopher!
8. Our house- feels like home.
9. Food- come to Honduras and try a baleada!
10. Jobs- that allow us to have this adventure and work with some of the sweetest kids in Honduras.
Well, I've got to get started on that Lefse- remember all entries to our mystery photo contest must be submitted by midnight tonight!

Hey guys,
Happy (late) Thanksgiving. Sounds like a nice day! Casey
Happy First Thanksgiving to Mr. & Mrs. Lewandowski!
Tom and Karine,
Thanksgiving was different because the two of you were not with us. At Doug's house there were just four guests: Karen, Mark, Phyllis, and myself. The food was excellent. We had only one small crisis. We had a pumpkin pie that absolutely refused to get done.
I would say ditto on all of your things to be thankful for. I, myself am most thankful for my children and their wonderful families. Your father would be proud of all of you.
