243/365 11/28/09 In Celebration....31 weeks....

31 weeks...Thank you Lord.....

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. "

Psalm 139:13-16

242/365 11/27/09 Shopping with the girls....

For many years it has been a holiday tradition for all of us to go shopping and have lunch together the day after Thanksgiving.

241/365 11/26/09 Happy Thanksgiving!!

It was a wonderful day....lunch at Mom and Daddy's...

Traditional turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, lots of other vegetable dishes, rolls, fruit salad, and always Mom's perfectly scrumptious chocolate pie.

And of course-- I'm thankful for my three little "turkeys"...

Seriously, I have such a great family. I have wonderful children - a son, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, and a son-in-law. They fill my life with joy and love. And then add the blessings of the grandkids....I am so thankful for them in my life. Words cannot describe how I feel about them.

I am thankful for all my family....my Mom and Dad, who are great parents who love us very much, and for my 3 sisters, who are also my best friends. I realize how very blessed I am.

And most of all I am SO thankful for my great husband - who loves me, our kids, our grandkids, and my family with all his heart. I am thankful ......
