Happy Thanksgiving! Why am I posting a Halloween picture today? I just had to tell you this story...This morning Camden was dressed and ready to go to Thanksgiving breakfast at 8 AM in full Spiderman attire from Halloween. He was even chewing gum (a gift from grandma) and stringing a creative "gum web" from one end of the kitchen to the other like a "real spider". Imagine. Just imagine his beautiful gum web that was built just for me. My Sleeping Beauty Taylor was snoozing until 9 AM while the baby was busy clapping her hands for Spiderman. Last week, Brooklyn actually ate a spider off the floor. True story! Today she will be eating her first turkey. I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving! Very thankful for these 3 beautiful babies and for my husband who is out playing in the annual Turkey Bowl this morning. Also thankful for our World Vision sponsor child Ashenafi from Ethiopia. He writes me about once a quarter. Here is my most recent letter from Ashenafi: (written with a VERY thankful heart)
Dear Nancy,
First I would like to express my deepest greetings to you. I hope you stay happy and healthy. I wish this letter finds you in good health and doing well. I am fine! The letter and photos that you sent reached me through project development workers. I was very glad to read your letter. It was so beautiful that I do not know how to express my feelings of being happy to read that you love me so much. Thank you so much for that wonderful letter. I am admirable that God brought two families together from two different corners of the world. I trust that such a way of communication will make us a strong family and long life friends in the future. I would like to wish you a long life. May peace and health be yours in abundance.

On this Thanksgiving, may your family be blessed. Each family has it's characters, whether it's spiderman, sleeping beauty, crazy uncle Bob, whoever you are spending your hours with, I pray that your heart will be open and full of gratitude for what God has given you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Nancy
