With Thankful Hearts

We have had the chance to speak to so many of you recently and have recieved countless well wishes for Abby's impending surgery this next week. Justin and I are so grateful for the love and friendship of so many of you. Our lives would never be complete without it! Whether we have known you since childhood, or just met, we fell such a sense of support. We cherish your friendships! Abby is doing well, although I think she is somewhat aware that she suddenly can't see out of one eye. She has been our little shadow always needing to be where mom or he Miss Aubrey are. We have been keeping them home from school, church and other activites outside the home to protect her from any illness before the surgery. I know the boys are going a little stir crazy but Justin and I have appreciated the quite time at home with our family. We have enjoyed making homemade gifts for the grandparents this year. Our children love to create, a talent that I hope never leaves them. We are constantly reminded of our eternal blessings and the sacrafices that Christ has made in order for us to live on this earth in happiness. Thank you for showering us with your thoughts, love and prayers!
