Our hearts seem to be bursting with thanksgiving this year. As we look around us and see all the hurt and pain, we can't help but pause to give thanks to the One who has numbered our days, fashioned us in His image perfectly, and holds our future in His hands. Especially as we look into the eyes of these three precious blessings. We have been exceedingly blessed beyond measure and we celebrate His goodness now in the great times and pray for grace to do the same when the days aren't as bright. Today, we thank HIM for the greatest blessing of all: the hope of a life spent with Him for eternity! And we thank Him for these girls we call our daughters. They bring much joy, laughter, and smiles that we otherwise wouldn't have the privilege of experiencing if it weren't for their sweet lives! Humbled doesn't even begin to describe how we feel parenting them...thankful for His grace that is sufficient for each day of this journey!
And I can't remember the days of not cherishing time with family, but now that I'm officially a mother to three little girls, family means even that much more. We are so, so grateful for our families and the time we and our children get to spend with them. Never quite as restful as it once might have been, but wouldn't have it any other way...at least most days. =)
The girls absolutely adore their Uncle Nathan and Aunt Kim...wonder why!? =)
Hot chocolate right before bedtime? Yep, that's what grandparents are for...
Having a ball on the play set with Abbie & Evie!
Disregard the fashion statement the girls are making...they're deeply engaged in learning how to shell a pecan from G-Dad!
All bundled up after a fun dinner out at Huggin Molly's to celebrate Nana & G-Dad's anniversary! (We didn't promise it would be a nice, quiet dinner =)
And they're off for a little adventure with their daddies and G-Dad! First time down to the farm to go fishing...thankful they caught one or we might have seen some tears...=)
All eyes watching for this "potty break!"
Getting everything ready to throw the fishin' pole in...quite a captive audience he has I might add!
Sweet, sweet memories!
AND we have a fish!!!
These four girls have little understanding yet of just how sacrificial and loving G-dad is! Their agenda is his agenda which means these four +AK are very well loved and cared for!
A little braver than her twin sissy!
Love these two so deeply!
Thankful for the love these two have for each other. Such a privilege being their mommy and daddy!
A small snapshot of what it's like to feed five little ones under the age of three and a half...=)
Thanksgiving 2014 is now complete...and was such fun!
