Happy Thanksgiving!

The Texas Mitchells had their first family Thanksgiving! Ben and I both baked and cooked and even though it was just two of us at the dinner table, we named all the things for which we are so thankful...the most important one being a big, beautiful, healthy boy named Quinn! Unfortunately, Q was sleeping during the actual feast, but he enjoyed the times of the day when he was awake. Like watching part of the Macy's parade and watching the Texas and A&M game. He even decided to peform for us by rolling over a few times on his floor mat. What a great day!

Playing on the Baby Einstein mat is part of our pre-bath routine. Quinn can almost reach the arch. Once he does, he'll be able to start the music by himself. And he'll love that!

The ladies call me "Q."

Conversations with Q

Falling consumer prices contributed heavily to the decline in overall spending. The so-called core PCE deflator rose by just 2% in the past 12 months, down from 2.2% by that measure in September.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) and the Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index both gained about 0.6% over 2 hours into the session, while the Nasdaq composite (COMP) gained 2.2%.

You gonna eat that or what?

All this shop talk has made me tired!
