Happy Thanksgiving!!

We have so much to be thankful for. God is so good to us. We are so thankful for our friends and family who constantly encourage us and support us with their love and prayers. We thank God for each of you.

We are going to spend Thanksgiving with another MMS family and are very excited about it. It is a family who we have not had the opportunity to "hang out" with as of yet. We are so blessed to have been invited to their home for the holiday. There will be other MMS families there too and we are excited about that as well. MMS is like a big family who love getting together but is not able to as much as they would like. Just like our real families. Schedules and obligations keep us from being able to get together more, but God is so gracious to bless us with holidays like this that is set aside for special friends and families. What a blessing.

Scott has been working hard on the suburban. He has worked most of the past weekend and late everynight this week. He has taken the rest of the week off for vacation. We thought we were going to his sisters for Thanksgiving but plans changed with the suburban needing attention. He and the older boys plan on going in today and Friday to work some more on the suburban, (burb for short), and hopefully things will work out smoothly for him. So far, some parts that were ordered for it were not the correct parts. This has caused some delays. He is sleeping in this morning, actually the whole family is still asleep and it is already 9:30. They never sleep in this long. I feel like I have the whole house to myself.

I baked fresh banana bread and have Scott's pot of coffee all done...just waiting for him to rise and greet the day. :-)

Nathaniel lost his last baby tooth. He asked me if this makes him a grown up now. I had to laugh. Jeremiah walked up and told me that he is half of a grown up since he has also lost some of his baby teeth. Too funny!!

The kids are getting excited about the upcoming holidays. Nathaniel's birthday is a week from tomorrow...Thanksgiving. He will be 11 on Dec. 4th. So, he thinks December is all about him with presents all month long. Sure, ok...I told him. LOL I guess I ought to start thinking about what to get him. Wow, I am a little behind. :-)

Bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
