Giving Thanks

It's the season for giving thanks!

And we have so much to be thankful for.  

The Giver of all good things has blessed us richly.  

We had three little Thanksgiving celebrations this year. 

Each one so sweet, making November a very special month. 

Stories, crafts, games, and friends!  

Thank you Davis family for this sweet Friends-giving day.  

Your friendship is something we thank the Lord for!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our church family for the first time which was such a treat (as every Sunday is).

This church has been an answer to many years of prayer.

We are thankful that God brought it to our family in his time, for this time.

And Thanksgiving Day...A house full of family and loved ones.  

 That's when I like my home best...when it's full.

AND...Banjo and I were ready for bed at about 7:30.

Blessed Day and month and a heart full of gratitude.

Daddy in Italy!

Daddy had to take a business trip to Italy last week!  

I'm so happy he got to enjoy this beautiful part of the world (even if only for a couple of days) 

We missed this face and we are happy he is home safe and sound.

Meanwhile at home...

(Hiking with some sweet friends)  

(The puppies missed Daddy so much. Seriously.  He's the animals person around here.)

(Teaching my favorite little students)

(And only one emergency trip to the dentist) 

We are thankful that the Lord was near to us here at home and brought our Daddy back safely.
