A Precious New Life to be Thankful for This Year : )

I am thankful every day for the special people in my life, most especially my daughters, being their mom, being blessed to raise and homeschool them. But 2 weeks ago today, a NEW little person came into this world.....my first grandson.

Announcing Brendan Dean. I was blessed to be present for April's entire labor and delivery. Both she and Brendan are healthy. Here is Brendan about 10 minutes after birth:

And Brendan and happy parents just a few days ago:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The girls and I are off to work at the animal shelter this morning, as we did last year. We will have our family dinner tomorrow, and another Thanksgiving dinner Sunday at my ex-sister-in-law's house.
