Rachel claims to have weighed herself before and after Thanksgiving dinner, scientifically proving that she gained 2 pounds, even though she only ate a 1/2 plate of food.  What we should have done is weighed ourselves before and after we began our strict dietary regimen of a diner a day. Some memorable moments from the week:
-Gwen being about as cute as a kid can get.
-Chris's unbridled glee when we arrived at our borrowed house to find brine-worthy buckets in every cupboard.
-The one-drumstick turkey carcass salute
- Jerry, "We're not voting; this is science."
-Levi showing up on our doorstep after sneaking out of his house and scootering himself down the street. "Jiminy Cricket, he's flown the coop!"
-Watching 'Moonrise Kingdom' with Viv and having her laugh just as much as I hoped she would.
-Art day with the kids at the gallery.  "When I really like something, I whisper it!"
-Kids cutting down a Christmas tree with a rusty hacksaw.
-Apple cider donuts.
