Welcome back, everybody. Hope you had a great holiday weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving.

It was an eventful week at Armstrong House. My twin girls, Grace and Isabelle, turned six last Wednesday and we celebrated with a big party at my house. Their mom, Kristin, and I planned the party √¢‚Ǩ‚Äù an American Girl Totally Tropical √¢‚Ǩ‚Äù themed bash. Kristin and I spent the afternoon managing a rodeo of about 30 girls. It was a whole lot of noisy fun. I can’t believe they are already six years-old.

On Thursday morning the girls, their brother, Luke, and I headed to Plano to spend Thanksgiving with my mom, a.k.a. Mimi, and their Papa Ed. Mom is an amazing cook and the kids were ecstatic to hang out with their grandparents.

I don’t get to the Dallas area very often, but I try to see a couple of high school buddies I’ve kept in touch with when I’m there. This time I got to visit with a small crowd of old friends. We spent some time talking about what everyone is doing now and about our high school antics … long before I hosted birthday parties for six-year-old daughters.

I’m on my way to New York City today for a week of meetings and events for the LAF. More on all of that this week. Stay tuned.
