Thanksgiving

I'm getting closer to being caught up!

Since we just saw Grandma, Papaw, and Uncle Jim on our Philadelphia trip the week before, we decided to stay in Uniontown for all of the Thanksgiving holiday.   We had dinner at Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Mike's, and the following day we went to Ohiopyle to see the waterfalls.

The best picture we have so far of the three of you.  Amelia just started to crawl, so she was very fun!

The Casani/Kozel/Guappone crowd.  We are so blessed to have such a great family!

Emery was so excited to be able to hold you, Lily!  (and that you didn't automatically start crying)

Wyatt:  See the sweat on your headband?   You were having a blast!  Lily:  You were super serious throughout this entire photo shoot.  This made the rest of the family laugh hysterically.

Wyatt, you are such a big boy now.

Another of Wyatt's great photographs.

Addie and Emery are awesome cousins! 

Can you see the rainbow?

Pete is not scared of you, Lily.  He's determined to make you like him.

Thanksgiving was fantastic but exhausting. 

I'm thankful ...
that we get to see your grandparents a lot, even though we live far away from them.
that both sides of our family are wonderful, understanding, and full-contact.
that you are both healthy.
that you are both healthy.
that you are both healthy.  (I'm REALLY thankful for this.)
that Lily's first laugh of the day is usually at Wyatt.
for Wyatt to have a Daddy that likes to wrestle and get sweaty.
for Lily to have a Daddy that tries every day to spend more time with her.
for a husband that I love.
when the Steelers and the Mountaineers win.  Happy Daddy=Happy Me
that Wyatt knows the true meaning of Christmas.
for Lily's two teeth.
that Wyatt tries to eat salad because he knows Lily is watching him and learning.
for time off to enjoy my children.
for the front carrier.
that we still talk about Faith a lot.
for God's grace and understanding as I fumble.
to hear someone call me "Mama" every day.
