We have much to be thankful for! It has been one year since we brought Nathan home! This will be a considerably less tiring holiday and Nathan will be able to enjoy himself. He loves seeing his relatives come for a visit. Everyone is coming here so he will be able to show off all of his toys to his cousins.
I wish I could think of something eloquent to say about this occasion but all that comes to mind is how blessed we are. Because it's so close to my heart I think about all of the children throughout the world who have never and may never know what it is to sit down to a table abundant with food in the presence of family. It is something I have always taken for granted.
I guess we are never too old to grow in maturity so I am still learning how to be thankful and see the blessing in even the little things. The truth is I am abundantly blessed in so many areas of my life. I hope that all of my friends and family have a very happy, fulfilling Thanksgiving Day!
From today...Nathan watching TV with his new panda bear.
This was us last Thanksgiving...
The first is on the red couch at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, China. It was Thanksgiving Day that morning before we left to head home.
Twenty-six hours later we landed in Oklahoma City where it was Thanksgiving Day!

Oh wow...what a great Thanksgiving for your family :)
Julie,
You are doing a great job with Nathan. I can tell in his face how much more relaxed and at peace he seems.
Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. I'm off to the movie theater with my dh...we haven't had a "date" in 2 years, I think.
