HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg 2008!
You could say that it's been a pretty strenuous year for us in a lot of ways...a difficult and often scary pregnancy, dealing with the loss of my brother, much heartache for our country... - just to name a few. But we are so THANKFUL this year be back in good health (you have no idea!), for Chris' stable job despite the economy, for our new and beautiful, healthy baby girl and our 2 year old joy, to live in a beautiful free country where the first amendment allows us not only the freedom of speech but the freedom of religion for all of us, for wonderful friends & great family! What more could we ask for? We are truly living the American Dream and have been tremendously blessed. Life sure isn't perfect, but I'm grateful for a perspective that allows us to learn from the hard times & to even be strengthened by them, and to keep moving forward with faith.

We spent Thanksgiving this year with Chris' side of the fam. We had yummy food and great company... that's what Thanksgiving is all about, right?
Above is a pic of Chris' two sisters (yes, they are sisters - they look nothing alike) and you-know-who. Parker LOVES his aunts and they are so good with him!
Chris with his brother and sis helping in the kitchen.. Yes, that is a mullet that Dustin is sporting, and yes, he's proud of it. Trust me, it's worth clicking on the picture to get a close up view.
Parker, Emmie and Chris with Great Grandma and Grandpa Lonczyna
Em with the hosts of the schindig - Grandma and Grandpa Hansen
And the excitement of the week??? Bethany and Brett got engaged on Thanksgiving Eve!

Happy Thanksgiving! Looks like you guys had a perfect holiday. Here's the link to the birdie mobile pattern in case you decide to make one for sweet Emmie. http://www.spoolsewing.com/blog/category/spring-projects/
I so didn't know about your brother, I feel like a horrible friend. It is in those moments you realize how many blessings you really have.
