It's the End of November Already!

Wow, it has almost been a month since Halloween. Where has the time gone??? Now the countdown is on for Christmas and soon we'll be ringing in the New Year!

We are all doing great and this week especially full of "THANKS" for the goodness of the Lord in our lives and all of His many, many blessings. It was cute today to overhear the kids telling each other what they are thankful for -- unprompted and from the heart. Emerie is especially thankful "for her baby brother and her cousin Angel." Elias said, "I'm thankful for my pumpkin....and for my Papa." So sweet!

The kids had a blast playing in the leaves and getting Matt to blow on them with the leafblower!





My parents came for a visit a few weekends ago - what a great time we had together!





We loved seeing Michael and Candice - they live in Arizona now -- we miss them!!!
