Happy Thanksgiving '08

"Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what He has done.
Sing to him, yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
Exult in his holy name;
rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him." (Psalm 105:1-4)
With thankful hearts, we have been blessed once again to celebrate this season.
We celebrated our family Thanksgiving meal on Tuesday, because Micah has to work on the holiday.
The smile on this little face expresses the joy that all of us feel about our family and friends!
What a difference one year has made in our lives!
We are so thankful we have been able to watch Jayden grow.
Soooo big!
At the rate he is going, Christmas will certainly be fun and interesting! I think that Jayden is going to be a climber.
Because he is now crawling, standing, and starting to climb on things, he discovered some wooden toys that his great, great grandfather made thirty years ago.
We are so thankful for the way that God has blessed our familiy through the generations.
And we are very excited to meet this little one in just a couple of months!
M&B have been busy preparing the nursery. It has been a delight to see them settled in their new home and preparing for their role as parents. We thank God for another addition to the next generation!
This year, we are thankful that we could celebrate our Thanksgiving with Becky's parents. They have been visiting the kids this week and helping to paint and fix up the nursery. Thanks Dave and Nancy for the blessing you have been in our lives!
Also joining us this year, were Terrell and Heather, with baby Elijah. They have been friends of Becky's family for many years. Since they are both from the midwest and far from family, we enjoyed having them celebrate with us. We even discovered more family connections--friends of friends--it is indeed a small world! We thank God for friends!
J&K were the clean-up crew.
A little one enjoyed some naptime...
Some of us enjoyed visiting, and others played games!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Thanksgiving! What a wonderful time you had with family and friends! Jayden is a joy! Anxious to meet the next Grandniece! Your life (and ours) is full of blessings! Praise God! We had our grandson here overnight last night. He slept well and had a fun time playing with his toys and us! They grow up so fast!
Miss you all. Love and prayers.
