We are home after our whirlwind day. Thankfully, the day started out with nothing to do in the morning. It was nice to relax at home before heading out to see both sides of our family. Lunch was with my family at my parents' house. Everything was so yummy! Then we went to Nathan's parents' for dinner. We had a good time visiting with several of his relatives. It is nice to have a day set aside to remember all we are thankful for. Here is a short list of things I'm thankful for:
1. Nathan: my best friend, world's greatest dad, protector of our fair city
2. Jacob: so funny, smart, and rotten, all rolled into one (He keeps me on my toes!)
3. Gabrielle: so caring, silly, and musical (I love to listen to her sing!)
4. Emmaline: such a sweetheart, the world's best-behaved baby (She melts my heart with each smile!)
5. Supportive family: they've been there through it all (including our rough start to this year)
6. Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association: we've made some great new friends in this group
7. That Emmaline has remained healthy despite the hole in her heart and that God restored the hearing in her right ear
8. Our church, especially our home group
9. Homeschooling: lots of fun, lots of work, but totally worth it!
10. God: who give me everything I need and moreHere are some pictures to highlight the day:
