A Quiet Thanksgiving

Our thanksgiving was uneventful here. Ryan had a busy call schedule as he had to work Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Krista stayed home and caught up on laundry and cleaning as well as working with James for 6 days straight on potty training. Unfortunately, little success at potty training despite placing him on the potty every hour but we will continue to try. Strangely, Jehovah's witnesses knocked on our door on Thanksgiving day. I politely accepted their materials and closed the door. It was quite cold here on Thanksgiving. We have had some unusually cold weather here for the last several weeks. This past Thursday, it was so cold and windy that it brought back memories of us living off of Lake Erie with the bitter cold lake wind! This year, as always, we have so many things to be thankful for. We are thankful for a new home and community that has been welcoming to us. We are thankful for both of our jobs that provide us steady income and financial stability in an economically uncertain time. We are thankful for our health and emotional well-being. We are thankful for our children who continue to grow in stature and intellect (they amaze us with new skills everyday!). We thank God for food in our refrigerator that is continually replenished as we need and shelter that is more than adequate for our needs. Most of all, we are thankful for Jesus Christ who is our Savior and Redeemer. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
