A lot to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving!

What could be better than a beautiful healthy baby boy just in time for Thanksgiving?! We have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Our beautiful son Hollis was born on November 21st just in time to be home for the Holidays. We have our beautiful healthy son Clayton and loads of wonderful family and friends to love. We are so blessed, and I try to not let a day go by without thanking God for all of the the blessings in my life both big and small. My dad was always so thankful for the small things in life, and I am trying to continue his philosophy. Even in his sickest times, driving to dialysis at 5 am, knowing he was going to sit in a chair for 4 hours and not feel well afterward, still recuperating from chemo treatments....his first words would be something about how beautiful the sunrise was and what a beautiful day it was going to be. Wow, if only we could all be more like him and be thankful not only for the biggest blessing in our lives, but the many beautiful blessings God gives us everyday. This Thanksgiving, since Hollis was so new, we spent our first Thanksgiving as a family of four quietly at home counting our blessings, especially our healthy baby boys who bring an overwhelming amount of joy and love to our lives.
