November!!

We just love Fall at our house!  The weather is still mostly nice, it's starting to get a little a lot cooler but still blue skies and crisp yellow, orange and brown leaves to play in! We love the warm, cozy dinners and all the yummy smelling things that come out of the oven!

We love being able to wear boots and sweaters!  We especially love the holidays that are right around the corner!  People often skip right past Thanksgiving but it's one of our favorites!  We love the food, but more importantly we love the opportunity to reflect on everything we have to be thankful for!

This year we have experienced two funerals in less than a year.  One was a time of rejoicing!  The other was a time of extreme sorrow.  We have heard how losing a child can tear a family apart but for us, it pulled us together even more.  We clung to each other in the hard times. 

This past Sunday marked the 1 year anniversary of Zachary's passing.  It was a hard day but at the same time, it brought so much comfort to know he is surrounded by the love of family that have passed on.  He is waiting to for us and we feel his presence in our lives constantly. 

We truly have so much to be thankful for!  We have the love of family and friends, we are blessed with the things we need, we see the hand of God in our lives on a daily basis and we honestly couldn't ask for anything more!

Enjoy this month of Thanksgiving!  I hope you take the time to truly reflect on all your blessings!
