Giving Thanks

Our house is officially a home. It has gone through the important rite of passage known as "Thanksgiving Dinner." Well, lunch actually. Chad had to work that evening.

Things I'm thankful for this year include a kitchen island. Look at the size of this thing!

And the new home, good schools, and amazing in-home therapy for Lincoln. And being close to my parents and my brother's family. Close enough to sit down at the table together for holidays like this.

Yes, we are blessed.

And darn good looking too.

Fall Carnival

Yes, we have to pay an HOA fee. But we enjoy a clean neighborhood, nicely kept parks, and every once in a while, a free carnival pops up around the corner.

With rides,

Friends,

Dancing with the DJ,

And...this,

Cool firemen who let you play with their stuff,

Not bad for free entertainment on a Saturday afternoon.
