Gratitude Challenge (fam pics!)

I'm a day behind, but I'm going to do a gratitude challenge. For the month of November, I'm going to try to post something I'm grateful for every day.

Today, I'm grateful for two things. Well, ahh! I'm grateful for loads of things, but two in particular right now. That just sounds lame. I'm limiting it to two and now I'll stop my mental war of back and forth about not sounding grateful.

1. I'm grateful for friends and for all those who have reached out to write in their ideas about what they think my friend's medical condition is. I'm moved that a complete stranger wrote a long message because a friend of mine posted it somewhere else.

2. I'm grateful for prayer. And that even though we can't solve everyone's problems or be there when they need us, we can always pray for them.

3. I'm grateful for pictures. We just got our family pictures back from Gary Sexton about an hour ago and I'm so happy with them and so in love at looking at them because they're just full of happiness and it makes me want to go wake everyone up and have a big laugh and hug together. That's not what would happen at this hour, but it sounds nice. I was just going to post a few, but then I kept adding more and more. There are so many more though, so I decided to enter the modern age and add an album on facebook, so you can go there since I know you're hankering for more.

And that's three, but what can I say, I'm making up for missing yesterday.

Q: Are you up to the challenge? post in comments what you're grateful for.

I did this upload backwards, so you get the end of the night first and so forth. Gary was awesome to work with and managed to make the cold day pics fun for us all even though we were freezing, Hazel in particular because we forgot her sweater at home.

Possibly my favorite pics of all are these:
