Happy Thanksgiving in April

Last week we received a wonderful frozen turkey from a sweet neighbor that was moving. We could have had turkey for DAYS with our little family or have a Thanksgiving meal in April! We have so much to be thankful for. We enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving in April with Liz's folks, our sweet neighbor Terry, and Bob our buddy.


A table full of thankfulness & fellowship!

Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good
Psalms 106:1 (ESV)
Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!

wii Adventures

I have yet to post any of our wii adventures on our blog, so I will fill you in and catch you up to date. No doubt there will be future posts! Papa & I got the family a wii for Christmas. We had a blast making mii characters. Yes, Mama has "excited eyes" (See this post for excited eyes insight) and Papa has some great dreads. We got wii fit too and that was not so fun. Mama watched Papa play wii fit Christmas night and he made it look so easy. I (Mama) tried it the next day, mind you it is my birthday, and it aged me two extra years and asked me "do you find you stumble when you walk?" WHAT??? After my initial upset and reminder that my identity is in Jesus, I was able to continue in my wii adventures. We have had much fun on this little game. The girls get a kick out of walking the tightrope or ski jumping. I have enjoyed the strength training and yoga. We have had some good laughs with friends playing the wii with us. Just the other night a girlfriend & I were cleaning up some dishes in the kitchen when we hear a commotion coming from the living room. We find our husbands boxing, loudly I might add, and sweating like crazy. There were even sore muscles the next day for some. Here is their heated match:

FYI ~ I have brought my wii fit age down 7 years since that terrible first day.
