Being Thankful

It's Thanksgiving weekend here -it's absolutely beautiful outside today and all of the fall colors have arrived here in New Brunswick.

Thankfulness has taken on a new meaning for me this year...did you hear? We hit a moose a month ago and totaled our vehicle. So incredibly scary. As you can see in the picture below, it took out the right side of the vehicle where Caleb and I were both sitting (Matt wasn't allowed to take pictures of THAT side). A few stitches and some cuts for me, but not.a.scratch. on Caleb. I've said a few times this month "Isn't that unbelievable?" But then I have to stop myself -it's VERY believable when you think about how big our God is and you consider how much He cares for us.



So being thankful has taken on a brand new meaning for our family -thank You Lord for teaching us about being thankful and for reminding me to not take ONE moment for granted.

Suddenly the "everyday-ness" means EVERYTHING.

A week after the accident being able to take Caleb to his first day of preschool


These beautiful, pouty lips and cheeks


This awesome man that I married


The EARLY mornings that my little darlings insist upon



Living this life blessing day in and day out

LOVE your post Steph. :) And SO thankful for God's grace in every way. It is unbelievable that Caleb is in preschool and Fiona is looking so big! Hard to believe it is over a year ago that we were all at the cottage that day soon after Fiona was born! Love to you. xo
