A Thankful Heart!

What a week it has been! We all started the week off battling the stomach flu desperately trying to get well so that we would be able to celebrate Thanksgiving! In an attempt to contain the contamination, we disinfected, anti-bacterialized, lysoled, and laundered whatever may have been touched. With great success, we were all well! Our plan was to have my parents and close friends spend the day with us. Due to my mom's health, they chose to play it safe and stay away! We missed them dearly but had a great time with some of our dearest and closest friends! Great food, football, and awesome fellowship made for a great Thanksgiving Day!

But in Thomas fashion, we couldn't let it go out without a bang. By 9:30, we were in the ER with Sara due to some freak allergic reaction. We are still not sure what happened, and fortunately Benedryl saved the day. Thankfully, she recovered quite well and is still sleeping soundly. But I must say that the highlight of my week was Tuesday, November 23rd.

Nine years ago on the 23rd my sweet Sara was born. God blessed us with a little girl who is so inquisitive, smart, quite sassy, and stinkin' hilarious! So Sara, as you grow, I pray that God would have us be the parents for you that He intends us to be and that you would love Him with all your heart and always follow His leading in your life. We so love you!










Even though it may have been a chaotic week with both high and low moments, I sit here on Friday so thankful for all the Lord has given me. As I look forward to spending a fun day with my family, I pray that I never take advantage of all that with which I have been so richly blessed!
