So much to be thankful for

Tom and I have so many things to be thankful for. Unfortunately, we were apart on Thanksgiving but we were both still able to spend the day with friends and family. On the top of our list of things to be thankful for are our friends and family. We cannot begin to explain how blessed we feel by our parents, our siblings, and our friends.

To catch up, I'll just post a few pictures of our Thanksgiving week.

What I'm most thankful for!

Starting the Journey

Aiden's First Thanksgiving Dinner
(menu: mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, applesauce)




To Great Grandma's house we go


We also went to my grandparents for Thanksgiving. Aiden got to play with my extended family and spend time with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma.


Fifteen years ago my grandpa had cancer and ended up loosing his voice box. So, he talks with a vibrator thing (not sure what it's really called). Anyway, I never think much of it. Aiden thought it was fun to play with.

It's a standing joke that my Grandpa could never sing. My grandma says that he would sing me to sleep when I was a baby and I'd fall asleep real quick so I wouldn't have to listen anymore. The family says his singing voice might be better now than it has ever been. HaHa! Here is Great Grandpa singing to Aiden.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
