We Have Lots to be Thankful For...

What an amazing year it has been for us! First the a dream come true with the announcement of a new little life and then the daily blessings, joy, and peace he brings to us. When I (Catherine) woke up this morning the first thing I did say a quiet prayer thanking God for walking with us through this last year.

Our day started out fairly normal. No alarm clock was needed - we woke up to a little boy yelling for us. After his bottle, cereal and two hour nap it was time for a bath and then play time. During playtime we put him in his excersaucer while we started packing for the day and getting ourselves ready. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was on - which has always been one of my favorite things. I told Rob how when I was a little kid I would become unglued when Santa would come over the TV screen. It was so cool as I watched Jonah play and watched Santa. The excitement came over me again - the sleigh, Santa and the ticker tape! This time was different - a little boy sat by me watching with me.




Jonah sat at the foot of the table - playing with one of his favorite toys - his bib!



Cameron (my "step" nephew) loves Jonah. The two of them sat on the chair chillin out. What else is there to do after enjoying a wonderful meal?
