Thanksgiving is a wonderful time (and hopefully one of many during the entire year!) to reflect on all that you have been given and the endless list of things to be thankful for. 
Robert, Daniel, Esther, James, Sauntina and I drove down to West Virginia to spend Thanksgiving with the Staddon Family and their aunts, uncles, and cousins. Family is such a precious gift!
A delicious Thanksgiving meal, stories, games, and deep meaningful conversations made this weekend memorable and another special memory to tuck away to enjoy in the future. Donald and his siblings made name tags for place settings at the table…they were Her Majesty Ships! Poor Daniel was sick on Thanksgiving Day, so his ship had the quarantine flag flying for the day.
Earlier in the month, Robert, Sauntina, Katherine, Tanya, and I enjoyed the inspiring performance of Handel’s Messiah at the Moody Bible Institute! The soloists’ voices were incredible and Sauntina did so well at her very first concert (she slept for half of it, but enjoyed the part she did hear!).
Sauntina was such an angel! (I am thinking Christmas right now; but all the same she is a bundle of blessings.) You all were definitely a blessing to our grandparents and cousins as well. Thank you for all of the pictures. We are still hoping to put up more on the Staddonfamily site later. God bless you with more memory-making this week and may our thanksgiving and Christmas spirit continue through the new year.
