Thankful


I had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by my family and lots of food!! I am thankful my brother is home from his 2nd (and hopefully last) tour in Iraq; my new little nephew is growing and getting stronger (and cuter) by the day; all my brothers and sisters were together with my parents on Thanksgiving day --(along with my Grandma; 6 aunts and uncles; 8 of my cousins (and their 8 kids--along with my four-- in other words a houseful!!). We celebrated a few days early with Darrin's family --- and again all his brothers and sisters (and all their kids) were able to be there. So these are special times!!

Here are a few recent pics!! (The above picture is of my Mom & Dad; my family and my four brothers and sisters and their families!)

Below, Wyatt turned 8 and celebrated his birthday first with family in KS (along with the nearby birthdays of his cousin Harrison and cousin Jonathan!!)



Later, we celebrated again with family in Illinois!! Here is the dread Sir Pirate Wyatt and his booty.



My sweet gang on the night of Wyatt's party!!
