Give Thanks!

As we celebrate Luke & Bowen's first Thanksgiving, we obviously are very aware of all that we have to be thankful for this year!

There are just not words to express the gratefulness in our hearts for two healthy, happy baby boys in our home.  This year's Thanksgiving causes us to reflect back on the first few trying months of their little lives, and thank our heavenly Father that the time in the NICU is all a distant (and somewhat blurry) memory.


Dear Father God - You are always good no matter what happens in our earthly lives.  Thank you for your incredible grace & mercy so evident in the events of this year for us.  Thank you for the blessing of these two darling boys, and for all the wonderful friends and family who share in their lives.  We rejoice & praise you as our incredible Creator, and as the amazing Father who loves us unconditionally.  We are full of gratitude for You, and pray that we would not take any good thing in our lives for granted.  Amen.

The boys are adorable. It is amazing how much you've all gone through (and made it quite nicely!!) this year. Before we know it they'll be 1! Take care =) PS - I love your hair! You look great! Not that you didn't before, of course ;-)

Beautiful family pic! It does seem like it was long ago that these two precious ones were in the NICU. How thankful we all are that they are so happy, healthy, and thriving!

Hey, Darla. It's been a while since I've talked to you! Somehow during the hectic summer we missed getting our families back together :(. We'll have to shoot for another time I guess.

The twins look like their doing great. I'm so glad. I hope ya'll have a Merry Christmas! Oh, and when you talk to your mom and dad, please tell them I said hello and Merry Christmas!
