Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was spent in Akron with my Family, the kids spent the day with their Dad and the Roberts family.  We had dinner with the Perkins family (my sister and her in-laws).  Good food, friends, and family.  

It has been a hard month with this sweet little thing.  But, I have so much to be Thankful for- especially my family, even baby.  Greatest blessing is my husband.  The picture below shows the true nature of this amazing man.  He loves his family, a good provider and protector, and really loves the Lord.  He does his best to be the best husband and "Poppy" ever!!
