Giving Thanks
Gracie, Garren and I are looking forward to another family Thanksgiving together. This year we will be spending the holiday in Tennessee with friends and family. Its no secret that our family is truly blessed, and we want to instill that thankfulness in Gracie. Keeping with a somewhat new tradition, we would like to ask all of you to tell us what you are thankful for. Gracie and I have discussed being thankful and being blessed for the many things that God has given us, and last year sharing your blessings with her was a real success. She really seemed to start to make a connection. I would ask you to do the same this year. Please leave your list, as long as you like, of what and whom you are most thankful for in the comments section.
We wish you and your family a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Our love and prayers are with you!!

This list could go on for miles and miles! I am thankful for God's love and faithfulness, family (this includes Elliott), and friends like Barbara, my church, my beautiful baby Lucie, electricity, my five senses, my job, my students, my education, the internet (to help keep us connected to people far away), telephones, food, freedom, safety, my car, my home, clothes, electric pencil sharpeners :), and I could just keep going and going! We are truly blessed each day!
