Thanks! Giving!

This is my newest blogging experiment...I am actually writing this on Wednesday...but scheduling it to post on Thursday. Let's see how it works! (I think tomorrow is going to be BUZZZZY and don't want to miss a Thanksgiving Day post.)

Well, I'm thankful for a lot these days. If I were to name everything and everyone individually, this post would be wildly sappy and perhaps a little dull.

Jonathan and I are so aware of the generousity and support that our family and friends - near and far - give us. We wish that there could be a way to teleport you all to our house for a great meal together to personally share our thanks to everyone in person. I want you all to know that the phone calls, letters, text messages, e-mails, meals, help with cooking, etc. are such small gestures that have helped us so much recently. We look forward to being in the position to return the favor to you one day.

We are thankful that baby Grovie is being born into a community of good people. We know there will be more challenges in the coming years balancing everything, and wishing our family members lived minutes away, rather than hours away. But I think all of you will have a positive effect on this baby's life - because you've had such a positive effect our our lives.

And finally, I am thankful for jellied cranberry sauce. You know you love it:

I'll try to get some photos up ASAP! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I do, indeed, want a slice. And I had more than a few. Also, my daughter and I share a favorite food now...sweet potatoes! Where have these been all my life?! Hope you had a beautiful day. I am kinda jealous of those climbers...I have tried it, and I stink. P-U.
