Giving Thanks

For the 2nd time in over 10 years, Neil & I stayed home for Thanksgiving.

We usually travel to the St Louis area visiting family & eating way too much food.

We enjoyed a simple, carefree day & had no time schedule at all!
I have to admit ( with guilt ) that I enjoyed being in our home this year.

We began the unseasonal morning temps ( 50's ) with a walk on campus enjoying the brisk morning breeze.

Thankful for leaves bigger than your head!

Thankful for seasons

Thankful for mismatched outfits

Thankful for living in a college town (not a soul in sight)

Thankful for pound puppy pitbulls chasing squirrels

 

Thankful for leaf angels

Thankful for siblings to play with while collecting leaves

Thankful for the gift of adoption & motherhood

Thankful for living in a culturally diverse community where we are never questioned or stared at for being a conspicuous family.

Thankful to have a quiet day with my husband & girls ( minus Bria=at her moms ) enjoying the simple things in life which we tend to overlook many times.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
