Thanksgiving!!

Dinner with the cousins!! :-D

This year we went around the table and all said something were grateful for,

 and a person (seated at the table) that we are especially thankful for.

After dinner some of the kids made their own turkeys.

That evening we celebrated Dad and Mom's anniversary.

They were married on Thanksgiving day 28 years ago. 

Iowa 2

I'm back to blogging, finally. We've been very busy around here, thus blogging was pushed back.

But here are a few more of our trip to the great state of IOWA!  (nevertheless, I like Kansas better)

Bryson was kinda shy at first.

Cousins came from Ireland, Paraguay, PA, KS and AR

 It was so good to see each other again!

Just being together is fun.

Bryson!!!

I have no greater joy

 then to hear that my children walk in  truth.
