We are thankful

Here we are last Thanksgiving the whole family in Guatemala visiting Lucia. This was the first time the boys met Lucia, and our first picture as a family. We all looked through the pictures of the trip this morning. It was the most wonderful time. . . blessed in every way. It goes down as my favorite vacation of all time. We have started a savings account to go back to Guatemala for Thanksgiving. I will have to do another post of some of my favorite pics of the trip. Keagan's first glance of Lucia. I just adore her Foster Mommy Debora we have kept in contact all year through e-mail and a couple phone calls. He was so struck by her and still says almost every day how cute she is.

I asked the family what they are most thankful for this Thanksgiving 2008. . . .

Kinkade - my family, animals, my president, sports, all the fun we have in our family

Keagan - new basketball team, my sister climbs on me, my family, going to school, learning how to read

Lucia - tic tacs, water, mama, daddy, kittys, hot tub, babies, balls, books, all animal sounds,
these are all the words lucia says everyday in order from the most heard! Yes I believe Lucia is most thankful for Tic Tacs. . . she loves them and asks for them all day.

Mama - My family, My faith, Christmas time, good health, our warm home, Chai lattes, long lasting friendships, our church, our baby girl is home with us this Thanksgiving, Janny and Ryan coming home!

Daddy - Gonzaga Basketball, New job at Whitworth University, my cute wife, my hilarious kids who fill our house with chaos . . laughter. . .and fun
