Thanksgiving

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with both of our families! We spent Thanksgiving day at John's parents. We got to see his grandparents and cousins from Hershey. For some of them, it was the first time they got to meet Luke! We had a really nice dinner!

On Friday, we went to my dad's house and had another Thanksgiving dinner there. All of my family was in for the holiday. We had a great time! Joe and Tonya were there too! We were very excited to see them! They made the trip from Oklahoma. We got to stay at my dad's with them until the next Tuesday. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures while we were there. We loved spending time with everyone, but unfortunately, everytime I leave my dad's I feel I gain a few more pounds! It must be all of Sally's good cooking.

Here are a few photos taken on Thanksgiving day at John's parents.

Oh, how they grow!

I was looking through some of our pictures and came across some of the pictures from Luke's first bath. I can't believe how much bigger he is now, and how much he has changed! It has only been a little over 4 months!

Luke and his friend

Luke enjoys watching us playing with Samson. Everytime Samson brings us back his toy, Luke laughs. Samson dosn't understand that Luke isn't big enough yet to play with him. He drops his toy on Luke's lap and excepts Luke to throw it to him! I think Luke will enjoying growing up with his big dog! Here are some pictures of the two of them together.

Megan Ruth

Heidi and Brian welcomed into the world our newest niece Megan Ruth at 12:14 am today. She is 7lbs 0.5 ounces and 20 and 1/2 inches long. Heidi and Megan are both doing well! Her two older sisters are very excited to have her! We got a chance to meet her today. She is too precious! The beautiful baby has a ton of dark hair! We are very happy for them. The Lord continues to bless their family. Here are some pictures from the hospital.

Dosn't Heidi look great!?

Andrea's baby shower

We had a shower for our good friend Andrea last Saturday. Rebecca was gracious enough to host the event. The food and fellowship were great! The theme was lambs and Christmas, since Andrea loves lambs and she is due on Christmas day! We can't wait to meet her little one!

Andrea and her cute belly!

The diaper cake!

And the real cake!

Heidi's Baby Shower

There was a baby shower for Heidi and Brian this past Sunday. They will be having their 3rd baby this November 8th if not sooner! The shower was beautiful! There was great food and company! There is a link to photos from the shower at Brian and Heidi's website. We can't wait to meet our new niece or nephew!

Wedding Bells

Congratulations to pappy and Sally as they got engaged last Sunday! My dad proposed at church, and she said yes! I wish I had a picture to post, but I was not there. A date is set. It is February 2, 2008. It will be a groundhog's day to remember! We are really happy for the both of them. We pray that the Lord will bless their life together. We are excited for Sally to join the family!
