Thanks and Giving

I am very thankful. Last Thanksgiving, Wes and I spent the week on the beach in Mexico. This year, we spent it with our sweet little girl traveling around the wonderful Natural State. Both beautiful times, and I'm so thankful for the love God has blessed us with this past year. I've never been more in love with my Savior and my husband. And I've fallen completely in love with someone new to this world. In the few days following September 18th, I had to rely on God and His mercy more than ever. I am so incredibly thankful for the specific prayers He answered and for a healthy baby girl. In those same days, my love for Wes grew so much. His companionship, encouragement, servant's heart, and love for our daughter overwhelmed me. And of course Reese has captured my heart, and I am so thankful for the blessing she is. It's hard to describe how much I love that gummy smile, sweet cry, and beautiful face. So of course, here are some Thanksgiving pictures.

Our sweet little girl. My goodness how much I love her.


Gran and O'Pa with their 6 grandchildren...this picture will soon add two more!! :)

Wes focused in on Reese while the four generation photo shoot was taking place...and I love that face!

Now, the four generations. My mom, me, Reese, and my Granny.

My mom's gorgeous Thanksgiving dinner table. She is such an incredible hostess.

The week in Conway and Camden was wonderful. After Reese's two and a half hour nap on our way to Conway Tuesday morning, Mopsy and Popsy didn't take their eyes off her until I took her off to Camden on Thanksgiving afternoon. Watching them love on her was SO much fun. And then getting to spend a couple of days with Reese's cousins and more extended family in Camden was just icing on the cake. She loved being the center of attention, and I told her to soak it up now because she won't be the baby for long!!
Now back home with a husband by my side, a sleeping baby, a clean dog, a warm fire glowing, and a #7 Razorback team hopefully on their way to the Sugar Bowl, I am thankful. And I pray that I continue to thank God for these blessings each and every day.
