First Thanksgiving

Anastyn's 1st Thanksgiving was very good! A little busy, but well worth it! We were blessed enough to get to see both of our families today and everyone got a little bit of time with Anastyn. Although the actual day of Thanksgiving has come and gone, we still have so much to be very thankful for. First, and most important, we are so thankful that we have God in our lives. We have been so blessed in incredible ways! We are thankful for our beautiful daughter and her health and strength. We prayed and prayed for her and what a wonderful blessing. We are thankful for our wonderful supportive families, who have taught us the importance of faith, love, and family. We are thankful that we get to spend time with them and enjoy one another's company. We are so thankful for our jobs and the ability that God has given us to be able to work and support our family. We are thankful for Anastyn's new babysitter who became available at the perfect time. We are thankful for our home and the warmth that it provides us and our daughter. We are thankful for our church family and the love they have shown us in our move to St. Charles. We are so blessed to have a family away from home that cares for us and encourages us. I really could go on all night, as I am sure most of us could. When we take time to reflect on the things in our lives, I am sure that most of us would say we are far more blessed than we could ever imagine. We have friends, family, faith, freedom ( I am not trying for all f's but it seems to be going that way!), health, jobs, heat, homes, and many more material and spiritual blessings. We hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and continues to count their blessings daily! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
