Welcome back to the Drive Home podcast, where we delve into the everyday adventures of parenthood and personal pursuits. In this episode, we share updates on Izzy, our little explorer, as he takes his first steps towards standing and celebrating his upcoming 10-month milestone. We also discuss family plans for Thanksgiving and the delicious challenges of introducing new flavors to a toddler's palate.

Away from family life, we explore the host's ongoing fascination with genealogy, uncovering ancestral roots, and finding joy in connecting the past with the present. Listen in as we ponder the possibilities of turning this passion into a semi-professional pursuit, offering a glimpse into the captivating world of family history research.

Additionally, we take a detour into tech hobbies, from setting up virtual machines to experimenting with media servers, highlighting the joys and occasional challenges of balancing diverse interests amidst a busy life. Join us as we navigate through neighborhoods, personal growth, and seasonal reflections, reminding us all to cherish the moments with our loved ones this Thanksgiving.
