Thanksgiving in Danville

After a great weekend with my family we got to head to Arkansas with Will's fam for Thanksgiving at the farm. Mama Jan and Chachi's is one of our favorite places in the world and we love to go every chance we get. Mama Fan, Will's 94 year old great-grandma had the whole crew over Thanksgiving day. It was fun to see everyone. We can't wait to take the girls to the farm. Will and I have so many wonderful memories there, it will be fun to make memories with our girls. Will, Helen and Janette got all bundled up and went spotting one night at the farm, they looked pretty funny! They didn't see anything, but I think they had fun anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving

It was a great Thanksgiving this year. We got to celebrate with both families. Mom, Dad and Amanda came from Pasasdena and Mere and Justin came from New Braunfels to share Thanksgiving with us in our new house! It was fun to have them see all the work we had done since they had seen it last. I was thankful for our big kitchen when all the women got in the kitchen to make our meal! We had just about everything you can think of. Turkey, dressing, broccoli cheese casserole, green beans, cream corned, mashed potatoes, rolls, and 4 kinds of pie! We had to make this count for Thanksgiving and Christmas :) The boys enjoyed a trip to Harbor Freight with Papa D, and Will and Justin took the scooters to the Harley store to show off their wheels! I bet they got some funny looks! It was such a blessing having them here with us!

Girls!

Soooo... we are having two little baby girls! We got to have the coolest sonogram done where we got to see the babies and how much they were growing and developing. They measured and looked at each baby from head to toe! We got to see the four chambers of their little hearts, their brains, little bladders, kidneys, spines... it was absolutely amazing. I cannot get enough of these little miracles! The sonogram took about an hour and I was glued to the screen every second just watching our little ones move. At one point the doctor said "that is a beautiful spine on that baby"! I thought that was a funny thing to say. How great is our God! I don't think anyone can fully comprehend Psalm 139 until they get to see life growing in a womb.

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious tome are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

Praise the Lord for His amazing grace and promises, His sweet mercies are new every morning.
