Thankful

Things I am thankful for this year:

{two girls in matching dresses who are so excited and active that they can't pose for a decent photo together}

{josh & lisa joining us for thanksgiving for the first time in many years}

{phoebe learning to clap her little hands...}

{...and taking her first steps, just in time to show off to everyone}

{a working fireplace...}

{...and a completed dining room}

{chocolate!}

{cute tooshies and shoes}

{phoebe's tongue}

{stephanie nielsen...for her remarkable recovery and for her inspiration in my life. if you follow her story, you know what i mean and why i chose this photo. and, last but not least, for my very own mr. darcy.}
