Happy Thanksgiving

Halloween came and went. It's now late November and the snow is falling, a day before Thanksgiving, making holiday travel for many a royal pain. Luckily Uncle Grish and Grandma and Grandpa Spirn flew in for the holiday earlier in the week and they're here in Minneapolis, safe and sound, ready to celebrate with us.

Lena is taking her third nap of the day, while Daniel bakes pies in the kitchen for dinner tomorrow at the Pesky's house. With Thanksgiving around the corner there's so much to be thankful for.

We're thankful for our cozy home. It isn't selling as fast as we'd like, but it's not too bad a place to be stuck in for a while.

We're thankful for Dan's job, and his attainment of Tenure. Thank you University of Minnesota!

We're thankful that Deborah is happy and able to stay home with little Lenabel.

We're thankful for the long and beautiful Fall we were able to enjoy this year, before the snow started falling.

We're thankful for Minneapolis, a safe and peaceful, albeit cold, place where we are able to raise our family.

We're thankful for our good health and the good health of our loved ones.

We're thankful for our family and friends. We feel so much love and kindness and we're so thankful to have such wonderful people in our lives. Without you we'd be alone in the world, it would be much less fun and a whole lot more scary out there.

We're thankful to have a beautiful and healthy baby girl who continues to amaze us with her giggles and smiles. Lena you have brought a joy into our lives that we didn't know was possible, a love that is so big and strong it's hard to describe. Thank you for your presence in our lives.
