Thankful!

We really have so much to be thankful for this year.  Just today I was driving in the car listening to Christmas music, and all of the sudden I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude.  I thought about our three healthy children, our happy marriage, our nice neighborhood, and warm place to live in.  We are blessed with loving parents and extending families.  And, most importantly we’re blessed to have the gift of our Savior Jesus Christ.  Through him, we can repent and become clean before God.  This gives me so much hope and peace.

 Thanksgiving the Sunday before the actual holiday with my family.

Uncle Court returned from Brazil.  Now Abby is the only missionary in our family we pray for.

 Bowen started wrestling this month and got a 2nd place medal at his first tournament.

One of our last good days of fall.  Bowen just discovered he can climb trees. It's been so fun to see he grow up since he has started Kindergarten.  He's reading 3 letter words, and is making some good friends at school.
