Cousins

My sister Jen came into town for Thanksgiving and we had a fun day with the kids at the park. Megan was the photographer as usual. She got some great shots of all the kids. We sure missed Gavin and Linnaea, it's not the same with out those two cuties.

Look at those cheeks!

Some thoughts

November, fancy seeing you again so soon!  How is it almost Thanksgiving? This time last year I was in full-blown nesting mode. We were preparing for Genivieve to make her grand entrance within a month, so we thought.  We had just bought our van and had so much to be grateful for.

Lately my thought have mostly been focused on Brent and how grateful he is mine, now and always. The playground jingle "first is the worst, second's the best" keep lopping my mind. I am grateful for this second year of marriage and the happiness, laughter, peace and friendship it has brought with it.

I love my husband more now than ever. I'm so glad I married him, even though looking back we really had no idea what we were getting into. My thanksgiving goes to personal revelation, knowing that my Father in Heaven has a plan for me. A better plan than I could ever try to assemble on my own. I am glad I was taught and learned how to listen to the promptings. It was nice to be reminded of this in church today.

I love talking about what we are grateful for this Thanksgiving holiday. It makes my heart swell to see just how much my family has been blessed. Now on with the bounties of food I am going to consume this week! Ahhh comfort food.

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken this morning. Here is a preview. I can't wait to get them up on the wall. Its nice to have pictures of all three of us, it doesn't happen very often!
