Thanksgiving

LET"S ALL JUST SAY BEAUTIFUL!!
I know is that not the most beautiful turkey you have ever seen. I couldn't believe it myself. It was my first time cooking a turkey and I went all out to do the bacon wrapped one. Thanksgiving was great to see all of Greg's family at the church it was wonderful to have it at the church because of the room and the kids could just run in the gym.
I have so many things to be grateful for especially this year they have come into play. 1. first and for most family and the gospel. They have to go together. You can't have one with out the other. Well you could but you wouldn't want to. 2. Atonement- this has played a big part in our lives this year as it should every year. But especially because of Jonah. How much Christ did for all of us and what he has made possible to be together forever. 3. Greg - He is a hard worker and everything I wish I could be better at. That is how it should be but I need to try harder to make us equal to have him is a blessing. 4. Kids - I know family was number one but they are all important as individuals too. What can I say they make you grow each day to better yourself and to be an example. Even though most the time they are the examples to you. 5. Support- In all aspects of our lives this year. 6. Service- the greatest thing you could do for others. That was definitely been applied in our lived and being served. Makes you very humble.
I could go on and on and on but I am so grateful for all the blessing Heavenly Father has shown me and given me this year through our struggles and hard ships. Part of that is because he can't bless us enough if we don't have experiences or trials that make us better. Thank you to him and all of you for your help and support. Love all of you. Happy Thanksgiving.

Halloween

Snow White - that is all Faith wanted to be for Halloween. So of course we made it and she looked beautiful. She loved it and after we finished she said lets make Belle.
Penguin - Jonah made a cute little penguin. I had bought it last year when it was really discounted and it fit perfectly. We love them.

Long Time No Blogging

It has been a while since I have updated my blog since we got home. Things have been going well. A huge thanks to all those who helped and supported us through that hard time. Jonah is doing good. We are still going in for weight check each week to make sure he is gaining weight. But it is really frustrating because he is down right now an ounce. But who really knows if that is true because of the scale. We have done this multiple times once they weighed him 4 different times on same scale same day and there were 4 different weights. They did thins last week again twice same result. I am getting super frustrated with the whole weighing thing.. I need to talk to the Dr. and see what we can do. Besides that He got hiss stitches almost all out and that was a nightmare no joke 1 hr of screaming and me holding him. He still does have two left that will hopefully grow out we are just watching them.

Jonah is our little miracle baby we love him and are so blessed to have him in our family. Right now we are just stying close to home to avoid germs and sickness. Jonah cannot get any immunizations or flu shots things like that until six weeks after surgery. That would be the beginning of Dec. It is coming up soon though hurray. We are doing great and are getting excited for the holidays to come. Faith for sure cannot wait for Christmas.
