Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh we have so very much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! We are grateful for ...
God's provision and amazing grace available to us every day
Covenant Life Church and the way they spur us on
Our family and friends who support us and walk down this road of life with us
Covenant Life School and the Cross centered education our girls are receiving
The Scholars Program and the amazing education Corinne is receiving
Our girls' friends who are a great example of love and kindness
And our pup -- who brings us love and joy every minute of our day ...

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

We love this man! 11-05-09

Someone once said that a good man is hard to find, but I know that's not always true ...
I found a man who is warm, gentle, an caring, who's there when I need him, and who makes me feel needed, too. I found a man who can be proud of who he is, who is loved and respected more than he realizes. I found a man who is everything a good man ought to be, and the best part is - after I found him, he married me!
(From his Hallmark birthday card)

He is an amazing gift from God!
He is an awesome husband ... a caring and devoted father ... a faithful friend.

Happy Birthday Don! We love you!
