Thankful Thursday, Week 121

As I think about this past week, I am especially thankful for...

~A surprise visit from our Gramma and Papa Nate...
~...who were on their way to my Aunt Heather's wedding :)!

They brought their dogs, and Peter *loved* Mitzi...

He was still a little wary of Fritz, though ;).

It was Papa Nate's first time meeting 'Siah :).

~Abbi is so funny... so wild and goofy... but she does have a thing for animals. She was taking energetic Fritz everywhere with her, while Emmi and Peter were still shrinking in terror, haha!

~Awww :)... Not only did we get a picture of Tori *and* Gramma, their tongues aren't out ;)!

~A room full of family :). This could be captioned "welcome to the game arcade", hahaha!

Peter did take Fritz for just a little bit about forty-five minutes before they left, heehee :). But he was running from him about as much as leading him, heeheehee :). 

~I think we can be thankful that our couch is still standing... haha :)! Look at Josiah, heehee :). 

~This little face!!!

~We are such weirdos... as proved by the next pic... it's never boring here ;). We are usually laughing at something or other :).
 ~Andrew put together that lego plane Gramma brought him that is sitting on the table :).

~And we hear music about as much as laughter :)! Tori is such a good piano player, and Peter is so thrilled to "play" with her :).

They are so cute :)...

~Look at Abbi's new crocheting skill :)! I walked her through one stitch last night, and she just picked it right up... I should have stuck with it last time I tried to teach her. She was sitting -quietly- of her own volition- crocheting, for the longest time this morning! So sweet :). She is hoping to make a scarf :). We'll see if the inspiration sticks long enough!

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!"
