We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving 2009!

We were blessed with a healthy child, who amazes us everyday with what she can learn and understand...

We have a very supportive and loving family that enriches our lives and our hearts, and takes the BEST care of us... even though we are adults with a child of our own!

Brian and Keila are ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TJ made FIRST CHAIR REGIONAL ORCHESTRA with his M-A-D viola skills~

Brittany is in the Nutcracker on point and in increasingly more difficult roles each year!

Scott, Amanda's husband, has been HOME now for a year, with no signs of traveling the way he did in sight!

Uncle Tommy and his crew came for Thanksgiving... YaY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so much fun when they come for Thanksgiving!
