Thankful

We had a great thanksgiving. We ran the drumstick dash (the short version- for Mama) with my side of the family in the morning and then went to Ryan's parents for thanksgiving dinner. We are most thankful for a healthy and happy family and that we have both sets of grandparents in town, both of my sisters and Beau's two cousins. We get to see many of them each day and I am so thankful for not just the help but the experiences and love that they have given my first baby. At one and a half, I can see how he loves his family and how they are teaching him to be kind and to have fun along with all of the other things that he learns from them every day. So, today I am thankful to be bringing another little boy into 'a village' of people who really will help with the raising of the kind of boys that I hope to raise. Happy thanksgiving to you and your families. I should have taken more pics but this is the only one I got- we set the highchair out to take it and Beau took a seat. Still, he has on his preppy little man outfit. I can't even take it.

Thanks again for inviting us over for your Thanksgiving celebretion! It was so great to see you guys and enjoy an awesome turkey dinner. We really appreciated it. Please tell the Smiths thanks again. Oh, and Beau did look really cute in his preppy outfit, I wish we would have took a picture of Rylee and him together.
