I started out keeping this blog as a place to keep track of our journey raising our sweet first born. Four years and four precious kids later I'm still documenting our days for better or for worse. Enjoy the ride.

Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today we are in New Jersey for Thanksgiving and it's very hard! We spoke to each sister and they were both on their way into Powhatan and usually we'd be pulling in right around the same time. As I sat tearing up Andy reminded me what we would have had to endure to go this year... the packing, the car ride/sitting (for me and my pain), a one week old, etc. etc. and he's very right. We could not swing it this year. It would have been way too much right now. But I'm still missing home and all the events that will take place.
Instead of feeling sorry I will thank God for all the blessings in our life and the amazing miracles that have occurred to bring us to this place. We are very lucky and there are many that are much much less fortunate and it is on this day that we will think about and pray for those in need. We surely are not in need of anything.
We have our two girls, a happy marriage, a home and a job (thanks Andy) and many more luxuries in our life that we are very grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
