We had a busy but happy Thanksgiving Day and I hope you did too!!
I stayed up the night before making two huge green bean casseroles for the two meals we were attending. I ended up not feeling well and not sleeping well the night before, but all in all, it was a great holiday.
My husband's grandmother lives on a farm. Our little guy got to see a cow, a horse, a dog, and ride on a Power Wheels Jeep with another 2nd cousin buddy who is about to turn three. Then we went to my Mom's family get together just to say hello in passing (but not to eat again). Our little guy was most interested in playing football with the big boys! And he got to swing and try some home made pumpkin pie! He loved the pie!! Last, we went to a big family dinner on my Dad's side of the family. My Grandmother has 4 kids, 9 grand kids, and now has 4 great-grand babies and counting. We enjoyed seeing everyone. One of the cousins brought their new chocolate lab puppy and out little guy really enjoyed seeing him. They also had a pool table, which meant he got to play with a new kind of ball and they had a little in door slide! After eating WAY TOO MUCH through out the day... and seeing just about everyone who loves him... he was ready to come on home. We were all sleepy and it was not even 7pm yet. We watched some semi-cheesy, "B" Christmas movie, on ABC Family and then went to bed. It really was a great day!!!
I have a post from last year's Thanksgiving that was crazy... Happy Thanksgiving ...because my little guy was a newborn and I did not have my act together. Read it when you have time. = )
I'll close this post with a list of the things I'm very thankful for: -that Jesus loves me and pursues me -my husband and my sweet 15 month old son -my family (as in my real family) -my church family, alpha family, and mom's playgroup family -the new found hope God has so faithfully renewed -extra family time around the holidays -being a mom -great deals -my 1st year of business -God's faithfulness and constant provision
My life is multifaceted... I am a Christian who desires to see the Kingdom of God expanded. I am a Mommy to two BOYS and experiencing a lot of changes every month, every week, and sometimes to my daily life. I am a wife and best friend to my husband. I am a creative photographer who started my own company in March 2009. More about me - scrapbooker, musical theatre lover, I enjoy watching game shows (when ELMO needs a break), breastfeeding, getting the new Pottery Barn mag in the mail box! I started this BLOG to connect to other new moms and share our lives together. (I've also found some "old friends" thru the blog world too!) I hope to be an encouragement to you and to get feedback from you. (Hey, I need your support too!)
Please share my BLOG with other new moms, pregnant friends, or those who may need a spiritual encouragement every now and then. The Lord is GOOD!
