Thankful Beyond Measure

Even though we are in the midst of Thanksgiving festivities, we took advantage of the day off together and began our Christmas preparations. And as we started putting up the tree, hanging lights, ornaments and stockings, I couldn't help but remember last Christmas. Emmy standing by the tree as we told her that she was going to be a big sister. Or hanging our stockings and wondering, if everything goes well, would there be another little one with us next year? And as I stood there today watching our family of four, as we laughed and played, my mind went back to everything we have been through....the loss, the emotional roller coaster, the five pregnancies in five years. And now....our joy. Our two precious joys. This Thanksgiving particular, I am thankful....thankful beyond measure.

Yum! Yum!

Last night we gave Luke rice cereal for the first time and he ate the whole bowl, lol! He looked like such a big boy in his high chair too. And tonight we were sitting at the table eating our supper while Luke was in his swing. He started fussing and looking over at us so I went ahead and made him some cereal and put him in his high chair. And that sweet boy stopped fussing right away, he just wanted to be at the table, eating with the rest of us :) I have a feeling he'll be ready for even more food soon enough!

Playing in the Leaves

Josh surprised Emmy today by raking huge piles of leaves for her to jump in, which she absolutely loved! Even little Luke joined in on the fun! Happy Fall Everyone!!
