Thanksgiving Continued

This year, we are thankful for so many things. We are thankful for a God who is merciful, forgiving, and kind and who provides for us in just the right way every time. We are thankful for one another, for Carter, and for this new little boy growing inside my belly. We are thankful for our families - parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. We are thankful for our jobs, our home, and our cars. We are thankful for our troops, our freedom, and our ability to worship God without fear of punishment.

It is nice to take the time out each year to recognize all of our blessings, and it is our hope that we will continue to feel the wave of thankfulness as we move past Thanksgiving and keep that spirit alive all year.

For all of our friends and family who read this blog, we are thankful for you and the critical roles you play in each of our lives. We love you!

It warmed our hearts so much to have Kristi & her kids with us this year. It has been so long since we've all been together, and we relished the time we were able to spend with them :)
