We had a lovely, low-key Thanksgiving. We hosted Jason's Sister Amy and her husband Steve, along with Jason and Amy's niece Bethany and her husband Quinten, and their baby Oliver (who came to visit from Ohio and stayed with Amy and Steve).
Jake LOVES having littler ones around, but I was pleased by how much my older kids enjoyed Oliver, too. He was quite good entertainment.
I am so thankful for this family of mine. This year has been one for all the feelings, with two seniors. I have been trying (and have so far been successful) to notice, acknowledge, and feel all the lasts without being overwhelmed by them or having too much pressure put on each last thing. I doubt we'll have either of them here next Thanksgiving, which will be so strange, but I want all the changes that are coming for them, too!
The coming year holds lots of change, but it won't change how thankful I am for my family and the privilege of having a front-row seat to see the growth of these four amazing kids, and for a husband who brings me daily joy.
