Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Thanksgiving today with some of our new friends. We met Kenn & Lisa and their sons at the boys' gymnastics class, only to discover that Lisa teaches at our elementary school and that Noah (their older son) is in Cub Scouts with our boys also! Needless to say, we have seen quite a bit of their family and have struck up a nice friendship. Tommie & I both enjoy their company and the boys are great friends! Noah is 7 and Evan is 5 (the same ages as Harrison & Truman). We joined them for their family Thanksgiving at their home in the country right outside of our town.
Kenn carving the turkey & ham.
Ember - their new Golden Retriever puppy (with their niece). Lisa has trained & shown dogs for most of her life and they started breeding Golden Retrievers about 10 years ago. Right now, they have 5 dogs, including the new puppy.

Lisa with two of her other Goldens. They have 13 acres, so they have plenty of room for dog kennels & fenced in dog runs.
The weather was beautiful, so the boys ran around the basement & the woods in super hero costumes with swords. Unfortunately, when the boys were playing in & around the treehouse - Noah got hit in the head with the wooden ladder. The boys all ran to the house screaming & Noah came with blood running down his face. So, they ended up in the ER and Noah got 5 staples in his head. Poor kid! It was a bummer of a way to end the Thanksgiving festivities, but we did enjoy each others' company.
After dinner and dessert, we headed home for naps, then on to the cheap theater to see Wall-E. The boys had a great time!
We are so thankful today for our families, new friends & three wonderful boys - as well as too many other things to list here! :)

I'm so glad you've already found good friends. I keep thinking of our conversation about God preparing a table for you ... looks like he is.
