Thanksgiving

Although I am thankful a lot, it is this time of year I guess we really reflect on all we have been blessed with. I love Thanksgiving and spending time with my family. Although we don't have a large family or any set tradition, just getting together and eating is so great. I remember the first year David and I got married and we went to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. I acted like a huge baby. I missed my mom and my aunt so much that I basically cried the entire time we were gone. Although David and his family celebrate Thanksgiving the same way I always have, there is something about being with those you love more than life itself and have loved you unconditionally your WHOLE life. Although there are so many that are not with us anymore and we miss them, I love this time of year. So here is to Thanksgiving - food and family. For us as Christians though, I think it extends so much farther. Don't we have SO much to be thankful for???
Father: Thank you for my family. The family that I love so much and has been such a constant in my life. The heritage that has been passed down and will continue to be passed down hopefully for generations to come. I thank you for the comfort of knowing I have people praying for me daily. Thank you for wonderful friends who have seen me in good and bad and love me anyway. Thank you for a precious little girl you brought into my life three years ago. I can't imagine life without her. Thank you for her personality and the way she brings smiles to people - even those that don't know her. Thank you for blessing me far more than I deserve. Amen.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Back in Time

It's amazing what you find when you move and start cleaning out drawers, etc. I just took 4 rolls of film to Walgreens that I found when we moved. One of them was a disposible camera we had left at Hannah's daycare when she was in the Toddler room. This would have been between her 1st and 2nd birthday. It's hard to believe she was this little only a year and a half ago. It makes me smile to see what a good time she has at "school" with all her friends. Enjoy.

Sickness and School Pictures

A call from daycare, a fever and a trip to the doctor...Hannah has an upper respiratory infection and tonsillitis. So, we are home today. However like any child who gets a little medicine in them, today she is wired and has not stopped. But going home with a fever from daycare means no daycare the next day. By Monday we should be good to go. You gotta love this time of year. Below is Hannah's daycare picture. She did so good. She was so proud of herself and keeps looking at the pictures saying "these are so cute."
