Happy Thanksgiving!

It is the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature is stirring, not even the como squirrels. Mike is at the hospital tonight staying busy and hopefully able to get some sleep. The girls are just down for the night after yet another jumping spree from the couch arm rests to the cushions on the floor (thank goodness we don't have anyone living below us anymore.) Baby boy is bouncing back-n-forth with-in my tummy, but obviously finding himself content to wait with his grand entrance till the 29th. I'm finding myself stirring with emotions tonight as I reflect on my thankfulness to God. Who am I to be blessed as I have been with such a wonderful husband, two beautiful girls, and expecting, in less than one week, a baby boy? Who am I? Our health, our finances, our family, our friends--I am so thankful.

Tomorrow we will be celebrating our first ever Thanksgiving alone with our little family. We traveled back "home" last weekend and celebrated with our families. The trip went great. It was odd to think that when saying good-bye to everyone we would be returning for Christmas in just a month with a whole new addition to our family. I try to speculate what that means exactly and I just don't know! One would think that by the third time I would be calmer about this, but nooooooo! Anyway, we are going to do a turkey tomorrow and put up our Christmas decor. (We'll see if Taylor will do better with the tree this year). It seems appropriate that we had light snow fall today with dropping temps. I dont' have any new pictures to post this time, but don't worry I'll make up for it next post.
To all of you that keep up on our blog we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
