Isaac on the basement steps.  He had been coughing so hard he was throwing up a little while earlier.  We prayed and in a little while he was playing and not coughing.  Thank You Lord

Such a fun day celebrating all the things we are thankful for!  So thankful I am a child of God and so thankful for a wonderful family who continually shows love to one another.  Happy to have all of these grandchildren who are blessings from the Lord and for friends who are like family.  Kimmy, Jared and the boys got here first.  I had ran to the store for some punch ingredients I had forgotten to get and they were here when I got home.  Adam ran out to help carry groceries in without me even having to ask him.  Eli was standing in the door showing me his soccer metal.  I got hugs from all of the boys right away.  The other boys helped with other stuff I needed done before everyone got here. Kimmy was an amazing help putting my groceries away and doing things on my list.  Jared blessed Bill!  He noticed the ladder and asked me why it was on the deck.  When he found out it was for Bill to clean the eves, he got right out there and cleaned them all out while Bill was in the shower.  He blew the leaves in the yard into the pile Bill had started too.  Jacob took over and used the leaf blower and blew more leaves in the pile.  The kids were all so excited when they saw the huge pile and got to jump in it.  It was such a nice day and we had lots of yummy food to enjoy.  Adam and Eli each made a pie and they were so delicious.  Chuck and Sue came and it was very nice having them.  Max bought flowers for Sue with his own money because he wanted to bless her for being so caring and always giving him things that he is interested in. He sure made Sue happy.  Everyone helped get the food out and ready to serve.  Kimmy and Jared did great mashing the potatoes like usual.  While I was sitting by Sue eating, the girls cleared the whole table in the kitchen and put everything away.  Major blessing to me!  Thank you so very much.  I love all of you!  We had dessert later because we were all to full.  Chuck, Sue, Bill, and Bruce played cards and then Jared got in on it too.   The kids were so good and played outside and in the basement.  So happy they are all so close and love being together.  Kenzie texted me in the morning at 4 a.m. and wasn't feeling good so she didn't come.  We were all sad that she wasn't able to come.  Bill gave Jacob, Adam and Eli the hatchets he bought for them.  Our friend Phyllis's, son in law Dave had made them for him.  The boys were pretty excited.
Sue and Charlie gave each of the kids a dollar so they were happy about that.  Such a nice day.  Thanking the Lord for everything he has done and everything he has given us.  We are truly Blessed beyond measure!
