Happy Thanksgiving

We are so blessed, Little Ones.

Last Thanksgiving was spent with a spirit of solemn gratitude. We were still in much pain from the passing of your great-grandmother, and yet also so thankful for you all and your health. It was a quiet evening, not filled with the loudness of our typical house. There was a piece of all of us missing without my grandparents with us. There was a piece of all of us missing without you all, our newest, tiniest, and what seemed like the only, reason for our joy. And so while we were so thankful, it was just a different year.

This year was such a Thanksgiving of celebration for me and our family. You boys have come so far this year, shocking not just us, but doctors as well! You are our tiny little miracles and we are so thankful for you both. I am so thankful for our family. I am thankful for the closeness between us all. For the support we show one another. For the friendship shared among us all.

Life is a beautiful roller coaster of ups and downs. This journey to you boys, and now with you, has definitely taught me that. There are so many things that happen that we can't always explain or understand, but through it all, there is much to be thankful for.
