We have visited our families near and far, talked lots, told stories and ate too much great holiday food. Of course we drove the long drive home only to realize that we forgot to change the half asleep kids into their pj's at the beginning of the journey, but that is all part of the fun.
We are so thankful for our friends and family, not only on Thanksgiving, but every day. We try not to take for granted what we have, knowing that things can change in the blink of an eye. Knowing that, because it has happened.
Lucas is becoming such a big boy, even though he was tired today from our long drives yesterday, he took extra photos for me until Sophie was paying attention to the camera (not always an easy feat). He wanted to go back to his football catches but he smiled. I was very lucky to get some really great photos today.
Having a child with severe disabilities like Sophie has makes it a bit of a challenge when heading out to houses that aren't our own. She is getting big and spends more time in her wheelchair than I would like, but we do our best for her and she doesn't complain, she is such a trooper. I know that as she gets bigger it will be more difficult, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, we are thankful that she is happy to travel and loves visiting with everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your holiday was filled with love and sunshine.
Rebecca, it was awesome to see you all. We appreciate when you visit.

Those are beautiful pictures, and we are thankful for Sophie! Glad to hear you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Ashley and I stumbled upon your blog while searching the internet for HOPSA dress info. We are looking into getting one for my 7-yr-old daughter, Elise. It looks like our girls share many of the same problems. Visit my site @ www.lifewithelise.blogspot.com. It is nice to read about others who share in the same life situations that we live through with these precious kids.
