A little Thanksgiving recap.  We were lucky enough to be able to take a little road trip down to Corpus Christi to see Jason’s parents and grandparents.  The drive isn’t too bad from Austin, only 4 hours compared to 10+ from Louisiana to Corpus.  My doctor is putting me on a short leash here pretty soon since both Ty and Taryn came early, so it will likely be our last little trip before the baby comes.  No traveling for Christmas, but that’s ok, we weren’t planning on going anywhere anyway.
