Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
As I reflect on my gifts to be thankful for on this day, I believe I may be more thankful this Thankgiving than on any other in my life.
Two years ago this time of year Daddy had a triple bypass. Last year Mom had cancer, and of course there is the ever present worry of Faith's health. Today I got to spend this holiday with all three of them in addition to the rest of my wonderful family. Dad's annual cardio appt. went so well this month that he didn't even have to have a stress test. Mom got the all clear on the cancer earlier this fall and Faith just had the best CF check up of her life. I told before about her weight gain. R called the new center yesterday and the nurse told him the results of her sputum culture. She grew out only normal lung flora! The MRSA didn't even show up! Super news!
R got this great new job after being home since March and we will be moved into our new house before the end of the year, and of course I would be remiss not to mention my other two sweet babies, W and G. They are both growing fast. Sometimes I can even see the changes from day to day.
I have great friends and family that couldn't be with us today, and I love and miss you all, so once again, Happy Thanksgiving and onward to the celebration of the birth of our Saviour who I thank everyday for these blessings and more.
