Happy Thanksgiving

I just finished making potato casserole (my mom's recipe) and a better-than-pumpkin pie (Jon likes this even better than regular pumpkin pie. It's a cinch to make). I'll bring them tomorrow to Jon's parents' house for the big meal.

Last Thanksgiving, I wrote that I was thankful for "my salvation; my husband, his leadership in our home, his work ethic, his love for me, his gentleness; my husband's job; the miraculous little life growing inside me; the abundance of food, shelter, clothing, and every necessity God has provided for us; Scott and Kim and the other close friends God has blessed us with; [and] our families." This year, I am especially thankful for God's grace and mercy in loving me and sending His Son to die for me; my understanding, funny, handsome, hardworking husband; my precious, hilarious, growing, lovable, beautiful son; my friends, especially Casey; and the provision God has made for us, especially that I can stay home to be with Nate.



Oh yeah--Nate has starting sitting (as you can see)! He isn't very steady yet, so he falls over after a few seconds if he's on the floor, but he can sit for a couple of minutes on the bed. In another week or two, he'll be sturdy enough to sit on his own on the floor. :)
