Thanksgiving

We've had a lot of changes around here and I don't think I could ever communicate how thankful we are!
We are thankful for:
1. Mary Katelyn- She's been such a sweet and content baby. She's doing wonderfully!

2 months! Sleeping from 9pm- 7am. Eats like a champ. Loves her brothers!

2. Our boys- They're growing so much and learning how to love one another.

3. Our house- We've been able to host our whole staff team for Thanksgiving, people have been able to spend the night with us, and we've been able to cook meals with relative ease (no more storing things in the oven!).

4. Our Neighborhood- We've met a ton of neighbors that we're looking forward to connecting more with and we've been able to spend time with some families from our church that live in the same neighborhood. It's been an enormous blessing!

5. Our health- We've been surrounded by a lot of illnesses with friends and family members who are fighting for their lives.

6. Our friends and family- We've been helped in so many ways this fall! The move and having a baby were HUGE life changes. We received dinner every other day for 2+ months! I didn't have to buy diapers for that long either and there are still more to use once she gets into the size 2 diapers. People have given us a ton of new and used clothes, too. We're overwhelmed with gratitude!

Our helpers! It was great for the boys to be a part of our move. We wanted them to see their stuff packed up and delivered to help with the transition.

Saying goodbye to the condo! The Vestal Home plaque was the last thing to be moved.

Darrah helped by playing with the boys. Her baby girl is coming in December!

The Prusas visited in the hospital and brought us a meal at home

The Teacheys kept the boys when I went in labor and stayed until really late that night.

My "Aunt" Colleen. She helped organize and unpack the kitchen and gave us the beautiful Orchids in the picture above.

My best friend Lindsey planned to bring me Chick fil A for breakfast, but my unplanned labor messed up the plans :) She came over with a delicious dinner when we got home, too.

Sweet Peggy helped pack up our whole kitchen and has taken Sam to school for me a lot this fall...not to mention all the WONDERFUL motherhood advice over the past 5 years.

I really can't list all that my Mom has done for us. She's very giving!

Silly boys. The Hutsons came with a meal and hung out one afternoon. Heather has been an awesome friend!

A present from Crystal in Dublin. How cute is this?

My brother got to come visit a few weeks ago. It was so fun to watch him play with my kids!

7. The Heiskell School- Sam loves going to school and has learned a lot already. He's growing in listening and following directions, being respectful, being responsible, and fine motor skills. He's also being taught the Bible and how to love one another. It's an invaluable experience he's getting there! We also received an unbelievable scholarship for him to go there.

Miss Virginia works in the office and is sharp as a tack. She's awesome!

8. Our staff team- The deep relationships have been a big blessing to our family. We love that our kids are around them, too.

9. Our Church- It's been a great source of encouragement to us!
