So much to be Thankful for...

Hello,

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Here is a recap on our Thanksgiving weekend:

We went to my parent's house in Boerne the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. What was usually a 4 hour drive took 5 1/2 hours. We stopped a few more times and once to feed our little girl. We are learning so much! You can't just stop and feed her....you gotta stop, take her out and change her diaper, feed her, burp her (boy can she burp! I am so proud!) let her sit up for a while to prevent spit up, cuddle with her a little with mommy then daddy, then put her back in the carseat and go. Of course one of us was sitting next to her the whole time. We finally got to Pipe Creek at 10:30 pm.
My parents were of course up and waiting for us to arrive. Mimi and Granddaddy were super excited to meet little Abigail. It was precious! Mom is still recovering from her surgery so with gentle hands she held Abigail and it was priceless. We have waited so long to fill our arms with a baby and it is finally here and "Mimi and Granddaddy" were elated. God is so good!

Thursday morning: Thanksgiving........what an amazing Thanksgiving gift God has given us. We will never forget this day. We gave Abby a bath that morning and about that time my brother, sister in law, and niece came over. Immediately, Brooke took to her new cousin, Abigail, and they were attached. What a great little mama Brooke is. I can't wait for Abby to meet her big cousin Alex!
Then Nanny, Da, Grandma, and the rest of the family came over and it was wonderful to see everyone rejoicing with us. Even my "little sister" Sadie, the yorkie, was a good girl and was excited but gentle with Abigail.
Over the rest of the weekend, except for a few hours in the middle of the night, she was in someone's arms the whole time! And she loved it! Let's just say we are trying to get her out of that habit right now. :)
All in all we were all together all weekend and it was amazing! One thing for sure......we are blessed beyond all understanding. God's timing is just right and eventhough we still have Mom's chemo/radiation on the horizon we are so thankful that God brought us Abigail to remind us that He loves us and has not forsaken us. To God Be the GLory!

It is because of all of your prayers that Abigail was our little Thanksgiving miracle. Thank you! You will never know how much we appreciate all of you. Thank you is not enough....

(Jerry will upload the pictures from Thanksgiving as I don't know how to do that yet! heehee....)
love, Jenny
