Giving Thanks

Daddy gives the best piggy back rides!

Go Chargers!

Raaar!!!! She loves to be a Lion!

She insists on eating all by herself. She's rather good at it!

She's the cutest thing I've ever seen!

Despite the trialsome time we're experiencing right now, we have so much to be thankful for. I am incredibly thankful for Todd. He is an amazing husband and the most incredible father I could have asked to have for my children. He is loyal, honest, loving, he has the biggest heart, and can always make me laugh. I am thankful for the love we have for eachother and the amazing relationship that comes with that. Not only is he an incredible husband and father, but he is the best friend I could ask for as well. He is a wonderful listener (as long as espn isn't on :), and he is very easy to talk to. We understand eachother, we work well together, and we can compromise. I am thankful for my husband, the father of my children, and my best friend.

Katelyn has brought more joy to our life that we could ever have imagined. Becoming parents was always something Todd and I wanted, but we never could have imagined that we could love someone as much as we love Katelyn. Every day, since the day she was born, has been an incredible blessing. Everyday I thank God for giving her to us, as well as keeping her happy and healthy. I am thankful that she is handling the chemo as well as she has; I am thankful for her incredible personality and ability to adjust to our new environment; I am thankful that both Todd and I can be here to care for her and enjoy her. Thank you, God, for all of those things.

I am thankful that I have not only had the blessing to be a mother to one child, but will soon welcome our second baby into this world. Both Todd and I couldn't be happier to be parents again. Having a baby is an incredible journey, and we have enjoyed every minute of it with Katelyn, we are sure to enjoy it with baby number two. I am thankful that our loving, sweet, daughter will get to be a big sister and welcome this baby into our family. I know Katelyn will be an incredible big sister.

I am thankful for our family and friends. The support through prayer, thoughts, and financial efforts has been incredible. It's our friends and family that make it possible for Todd and I to be here to care for Katelyn and enjoy her as much as we possibly can. Thank You, friends and family, for everything. We are humbled by the help and love we've experienced over the last month.

We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! I know our little family will have nothing short of a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. All that we need is eachother, and we are lucky enough to be together. For that, I am thankful.
