Things to be thankful for.

As a family we have been so blessed. We never give God enough praise and thanks for all of the wonderful gifts he has given us. Blake's career change has brough him much joy and satisfaction. It seems as if teaching is his true calling and he is touching the lives of his 8th grade students. God created a position in the school when there was not one. For this we are thankful.
Caleb is such a miracle. He is such a happy little person that I just adore. His grins and giggles never cease to make me smile. Not a day goes by that I do not think how lucky I am to be his mom. I am so thankful that Caleb is healthy and thriving as he approaches his 2nd birthday.

Our families have given us so much love and help over the past two years. Not only do we have siblings and parents we have good friends. I am so lucky to have two sisters and a brother that I can hang out with and share my life with. Blake has been blessed with a best friend that is also his brother. The love and support of a family is like no other and we hope to always show Caleb what an awesome family he has been blessed with.

We spent Thanksgiving Day lunch in Piqua at Aunt Barb's house. Caleb had fun running around after all of the kids this year. Then we went to my parents house for dinner. My Great Aunt Nora and Uncle Tony were in town so we got to spend time with them. All of the food was yummy and we got stuffed! My favorite sweet potato casserole really hit the spot.
We went to Dave and RuthAnn's on Sunday for dinner. The boys decorated a gingerbread house with Grandpa while we waited on dinner to finish. I think they ate more candy than anything!

Stephanie came home to visit this Thanksgiving and we had so much fun spending an evening with her and Eddie. We went out to eat at Tumbleweeds and then played Seinfeld Scene It. I really wish they lived closer. Eddie and Blake enjoyed talking about football and I think they could be really good friends.
