and because I missed thankful thursday here is a thought on that because I am thankful for all these things
people to love, places to go and things to look forward to....
BE THANKFUL


Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
------------------------------------
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!! 
{I'm taking a break for a week! 
So till then have fun!!! I will be!! fill ya in later!}

Oh your family is SO photogenic!!!! Just love the family pics you get each year. Beautiful!

K2 pounding away at the piano is adorable. Yup. You just might have another talent budding there in your kids.

Loved your thankful thoughts....this one really hit me...."Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow." SO true.

Have an AWESOME week Christal! Can't wait for the update. ; D

the family pictures look fabulous!
I love reading about what you guys are up to...makes me feel like I see you sometimes, instead of the reality of hardly ever!
Maybe in the fall we'll bump into each other more!
Can't believe how big K2's getting...

You are all so beautiful. I loved seeing the boys today in church. Such nice boys. My sis in law has made those chore blocks. I LOVE THEM!! I am totally going to do them too. One of R's fave things is to stand (and she can barely reach) and play the piano. I love that you just put his high chair there. You are so smart. Have a fun trip!!
