These are from Thanksgiving

My kids with their grandpa and great-grandma, coming in from the barn-dorks. great men, but still- dorks.Ella and Thomas with their great-grandparents, Chad's grandparents.

It snowed all day yesterday, and during the night too. It is so pretty- a fresh new falling of snow on everything. The sun is out and I can see blue sky- I don't know how long it will last, there are still snowflakes fluttering through the air. I don't mind if it snows more. I like having each season to experience.

Our church had it's annual meeting last night, with a great potluck dinner. I love potlucks. It was a good meeting, good reports. I love this church family.

This is a week with no extra trips or appointments, and I am glad for that. We went up to the YMCA this morning- and I told Ella we could go back tonight and swim if she wants to.

Today I am thankful for my life, for what God has given me and for the people God has put in my path. It comforts me to know that God is good ALL THE TIME, even when really bad things happen.
