the lights on my tree, i wish you could see...

I am thankful for...

• My wonderful husband ~ he has worked tirelessly at painting the house, repairing what's broken (or hiring someone if he can't do it), making money so we can pay bills, and consistently reading the Word to Erin and me each evening.
• My sweet daughter ~ Erin says "love you!" to Caleb and me each night, and it only gets more precious each time I hear it. She's growing up so much and every day she amazes me with what she knows! She can sing "Twinkle Twinkle", "Jesus Loves Me", "You are My Sunshine", and a few others :-)
• My sister Kristen ~ I was just telling her the other day that I don't remember what I did before she moved here. Its been almost a year since their moving van pulled into Lovettsville and we've had so much fun ever since! We take turns making bread for both families (thanks to Sis for teaching us how!!) and on rainy days we fuss about how our other sisters left us.
• My family ~ We've seen every one of them this year, and had at least one person visiting every month since January! I know it won't happen every year, but I'm thankful it happened this year!
• Notre Dame football ~ Ok well, football in general is something to be thankful for but this year our team has done particularly well and barring an embarrassing loss to USC (doubtful) we'll be cruising to the Sugar Bowl... Not too shabby.

Obviously this is not exhaustive list but I'm trying to get in the Thanksgiving mindset before the Christmas madness consumes me completely!

I may be climbing on rainbows, but baby here goes...

I love this man.... isn't he handsome? And he looks so good holding his newest nephew too :-) We are blessed to have him!!
