Thanksgiving flashback

This picture was taken earlier today and it immediately reminded me of....

This one. It was taken five months ago, almost to the day, in Nanchang.

I guess I don't really need to tell you what I'm most grateful for this Thanksgiving, but I will anyway. Doug and I were married 13 years before this little answer to prayer came along, so needless to say I am endlessly thankful for my Kerry Lu. I'm thankful for every little giggle, every hug, every kiss, every new word or skill learned, every toy I have to pick up, even for (most) every typical, healthy, toddler tantrum. When she says "mama" in her husky little voice, I melt. I'm also thankful for the good health of myself and my family, for a comfortable little home, and for my friends and family. And I'm incredibly thankful for my wonderful husband, who has become an even more wonderful father. Happy Thanksgiving,everyone!

I've been happily married to my wonderful husband for 15 years. Two year ago we were blessed to welcome our first child, a Daughter from China and are absolutely in love with her.
