Lots to Give Thanks For...

I got to spend the entire week of Thanksgiving with my family in Brandon, and it was an incredible blessing. My sister and her family are in the processing of moving from Kentucky to Georgia and are temporarily living with my parents. Needless to say, we had a packed house! I am so thankful for my family, and especially grateful that my sister is moving a little closer. It was so fun to be with them, and to see all the kids interact with Hardy. I can already tell that Madden and Hardy are going to be big buddies! Last year, I was extremely grateful for the little baby in my belly, and this year I rejoiced with thanksgiving as I got to hold Hardy during our family dinner. We have so much to give thanks for this year...our family, friends, supporters of our ministry, and the list could go on and on, but this year we give thanks to the Lord for our precious son Hardy! We have been blessed beyond measure!

This moment will be forever engraved in my mind...

these are my dearest friends from college (minus Kerri).

It is rare that we all get together these days,

but we happen to all be close for Thanksgiving so

we scheduled a quick get together. As we are posing

for a photo, nobody wanted to be on the end.

I finally gave in, and said to Valerie, "well you didn't

just have a baby." She followed with, "no but I'm eight weeks

pregnant!" All three of our chins dropped, followed by

tears of joy and laughter! My sister just happened to

catch it all on camera! What a special moment! Baby

Bailey is due in July! We are so happy for Valerie and Kevin!

Totally Shocked!
