Giving Thanks

Once again, Thanksgiving is upon us and we find ourselves counting our blessings. While we watch so many people around the country getting laid off, we are blessed to continue to have income. We are also blessed with health and good friends.

So we find at this time, that it is one of the ways that we can help the Lord help others. We will again be hosting a Thanksgiving meal and have asked some grad. student families to join us. We know that it is difficult to be far away from family during the holidays and offer ourselves as a meager substitute.

I pray that we will continue to recognize the blessings that Heavenly Father has granted us and we will continue to inpart what we can to others. I will also strive to be thankful for what I have, instead of yearning for what I don't. (Although, I don't think yearning to see family is a bad thing. So that I'll keep.)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

On our way to church, Todd stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. A car came up very quickly on our right and we thought we were going to witness a nasty accident. Luckily we didn't.

Todd - "I thought we were going to have to stop and give CPR!"

Kara - "And first aid."

Todd - "And call the police."

Ethan - "Why?"

Todd - "So we could get that guy help and tell them what happened."

Ethan very adamantly - "And tell them it wasn't us!"

Just a few Halloween pic. Afterall, a picture's worth a thousand words.
