Thanksgiving hangover

Ahhhhh...... The family is departed, most of the food eaten and taken with them, at my insistent almosst bordering on begging. It was a lovely day, and I saw my younger brother's wife for the first time since june. She is 27 weeks pregnant, and luckiliy one of the beautiful girls. I looked like jabba the hut, but she has that glow. They will be terriffic parents, it is easy to see. My brother has a gleam in his eye, an excitement that is palpable. He was always wonderful with my children, and since my mother has 9 grandaughters, he was the last hope for a boy, which they are having. So the Fitzgerald name will go on. It was fufilling, and I dreamed last night of babies, of my babies, I fed them, cuddled them, sang them to sleep. I felt immensly content. I started my picture for my sister, just used some acrylic pastels in a light buttery yellow and a sky blue around the border, papers and ribbons and all sorts of things will fill it. I have to get a new digital camera. I want one for christmas anyway, my birth father saves them cheap from ebay and fixes them. Maybe I can convince him to send me one. He seriously has about a dozen cameras at a time. Then I can post progress.
