Giving Thanks

I haven't updated in awhile because really nothing exciting has been going on. Things have been slow and that's been nice.

We had dinner with Mom, Dad, Susan, and Rob last night. Rob fixed shrimp creole...delicious! The older boys were so well behaved. William was very fussy....ear infection. Today has been lazy...just doing housework. Later we are off to dinner at the Gill's, then Dan, Karen, and kids come over tomorrow for the Iron Bowl. So fun to have family around!

I am thankful for....

These boys....

for Chris who works hard and plays harder. Despite long days at the office, he always comes in ready to wrestle and play with the boys. His love for us is obvious in the way he lives his life...such an example for his sons.

for Philip whose little mind never ceases to amaze me. He's bright but more importantly a truly caring soul.

for Daniel who makes me laugh every day. His smile lights up a room! His heart is big...a peacemaker in this wild house.
for William who is adorable and easy. He smiles at anyone willing to look back. Can't wait to watch his personality develp more.

for my in-laws who love the above boys as much as I do!

for my Dad who listens, offers advice, and diagnoses ear infections at any hour of the day!

for my Mom who is always up for a trip to Chick-fil-A and who is able to be still and listen to me unlike any other person in this world.

for sisters that share a bond of family that is deeper than any other relationship

a brother that has a great sense of humor and understands life with three little ones

for old friends....

and new...

There's so much more....my church, our health, our extended families...I could go on. Hope you and yours have a good Thanksgiving!
