Our family

We enjoyed a quiet, relaxed Thanksgiving at home yesterday as the stomach virus continues to move its way through the boys. Today I am letting the boys lay around while I do laundry & some disinfecting around the house. Hopefully Shane will be home early. We have a ton of pie and the boys are still not feeling well enough to eat it!

I am Thankful For....







Much To Be Thankful For

Wow, where has the time gone!
We had planned to travel to the Eastern Shore tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving with our extended families but it seems that God has steered us in another direction. Little boys with tummy bugs have led us to plan a dinner here at home. This will be our first Thanksgiving with only our own little family unit.

The boys are all growing beautifully- I am blessed beyond measure to be the mother of these children. Our little one Aiden is growing so fast- I am trying to cherish each moment. He is positively the most joyful baby I have ever known! Cameron and Benjamin are now 3 years old- where did my babies go?? They are big boys! They alternate between loving and beating one another! They are such neat little people. Cameron is our "Dinky Peanut" and Ben is our "Curly Top". Nathan just turned 4, and he reminds us daily that 4 is very big. He loves to change his name to "Leo" and he is thrilled with all things red. Brendan has become quite a handful, but underneath his spirited persona is a heart of gold. We are bringing him back home to homeschool and I am so excited to have him with me each day.
God has blessed our family so much- I am just so humbled by His grace & mercy. Even with the world around us so chaotic there is much to be thankful for....
