I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving this past week!! I know we did!! I am so Thankful that God chose us to be his servants!! What a joy!!! I am so thankful for God sending his Son for us!!!

I am also so thankful for my awesome husband. Hard to imagine what we have come through in the last 16 years to be where we are now. Praise God!!!

I have 5 AWESOME kids!! Yes they are NOT perfect but they are imaginative, spirited and most of all LOVE God!!!

I also cannot thank God enough for the friends he has blessed me with!!! Life has gotten so much better since they ALL came into my life!!! We have so much fun together and it is such a relief to be able to be "real" with them!!!!

I am sure you are all wondering what having Katie's picture on today's blog has to do with Thanksgiving!! Well I hate it when those special days when someone special comes into your life pass us by with no recognition!!!
Ekaterina Ana Came came home to live with us on November 13th 2002 and what a joy she is to us!!! She was born in Irkutsk, Russia and came to live with us when she was just 4 years old!! She is now a very lively 8 1/2 year old!!

So Katie, Happy Gotcha Month!!! We are so proud and happy to have you as a part of our family!!

We love you sweetie!!!!
