Thankful hearts

Autumn has come and been so pretty.  We have been enjoying our beautiful weather and the changing of the season here in the foothills of Alabama.  Since the addition of our 4 children, life has been busier than ever! Trying to get my lesson plans completed has really taken a back seat unfortunately…sad face. I’m hoping to get back on it shortly, but we’ve spent some good quality time instead…here’s how our Thanksgiving went.

Snack time out on the upper deck, just outside the kitchen.

Going on a hike into the surrounding mountains on the property.

Every kid loves to walk along the creek when it’s low enough.  Posing for this pic wasn’t the favorite idea though.

Getting ready to head in for some turkey dinner.

We had sooooooo much food!  This year was a little different in that we didn’t go anywhere and didn’t have any visitors…very, very different.  But we did have four new little family members!!  In light of that we decided to stay home and focus on being together as a family.  Since possibly that may have been something new for them.  Our two oldest girls helped me in the kitchen and we baked and cooked all day.  Our oldest boys and Dad went out doors and the ‘littles’ went along too.

At the end of the day, we sat down to a huge dinner…all 10 of us.  Good, good feeling! 

Hope you  had a wonderful Thanksgiving day! Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Blessings! Kimi

Finger is healing

It’s been a week now and Garrett’s finger is in a cast and has finally stopped throbbing so bad.  We go next week for a check up and hopefully the cast can be removed.  He’s ready for the normal things boys do at his age: play ball, wrestle with his brother, rake the yard…NOT…that’d be the things Mom wants the boys to do at his age. 

Thank you for your prayers and concern.  Much love to you!  More update soon.
