The Sheldons Give Thanks
This year, our family will be traveling to upstate New York for Thanksgiving. We’ll head back to my hometown, Jamestown, and the place where my mom, dad, grandma, and many friends still call home. My sister will also travel up from Florida with her husband and kids, so it’s going to be a full house. Spending Thanksgiving as a family in Jamestown is really exciting, and I know we are all looking forward to everyone being together. We haven’t gotten together with my sister and her family in over two years now, so it will be great to see everyone in one place. Our kids are excited to meet their cousins, and we’re all excited to meet the newest member of the family. My sister just welcomed a new baby girl into the world in September!
business trip as a birthday celebration. My mom is coming down from New York to watch the kids while Toph and I take a long weekend to relax.
Having the time with just Toph to decompress and just be together is certainly one of the many things I’m thankful for. It’s a good way to reset. We try to plan one trip every year as we celebrate our birthdays and just take a break from the day-to-day bustle. Speaking of being thankful, it’s been a big year. Our business has just moved into a newer and larger office space, and we’re expecting our fourth child! It’s been quite a journey, and I’m thankful for all of it.
I’m also grateful our older kids are getting to the age where they can really understand thankfulness and giving. At some point around the holidays, we are going to do something as a family to give back to the community. Whether it’s buying a family a turkey for Thanksgiving or adopting a family for Christmas, we’re excited to offer some help for those less fortunate.
Speaking of birthdays, mine is at the end of October and Toph’s is at the beginning of November. The last couple years we have been able to get away without the kids for a few days to celebrate and this year is no different, as we’re excited to be going to Las Vegas! We’ve got a conference out there so we’re going to double our
