Thanksgiving!

We were soooo excited to be home for Thanksgiving this year! We managed to celebrate with both sides of our families which both included a lot of food and photo shoots.

The Rolig family managed get their picture done before too many children escaped and any looming temper tantrums arose. Doesn't everyone look happy? Also take note of the matching outfits. Jay and Eric claim it is a coincidence, but I am not so sure about Emerson and Annika.

The Anderson/Millard family also managed to pull it off, but the pending temper tantrums weren't so much from the children as the adults. Alas we all survived and still love each other.

We have much to be thankful for this year:

-Not having to endure 140 degree weather!

-A refrigerator.

-Our house that was returned to us in good condition.

-A washing machine (but not a dryer...oh well, beats doing laundry in buckets!)

-A new car!

-A safe return from Malawi.

-Cheese and other dairy products whenever we want them.

-Internet all the time!

-People being able to understand everything we say.

-An income.

-Running water and electricity.

-Our friends who have been welcoming us home through phone calls, visits, dinners, drinks, etc.

-Our families who have given us so much love and support the last two years and now as we transition to the next phase in our lives.

-The new life that we are so excited to welcome into the world!
