Nov. 7 Picture

Today was Clara's day to choose what to take a Thankful Picture of. She decided to take a picture of her ADOPTION SCRAPBOOK. This is where there are all sorts of pictures and info about her when she was little and all about her adoption. She must be really thankful for this. Here are the pages she wanted me to take the picture of.

Nov 6 Thankful Picture

So....today was Debbie's turn to decide what to take a picture of. When I asked her what she thanked God for she said........."Clara and me". What a precious way for a three year old to say how much they appreciate her big sister. So here is the picture of my girls...........

Thankful Picture of Nov. 5

Today I let Jacob decide what to we were going to take a picture of. His first choice was to take one of the whole family dressed up and attending church together, but he wants to do that on Sunday. So we're going to wait a few days for that one. I was touched that he is so thankful for that! The second idea he had was that he was thankful for baseball. But.......it was raining out and he didn't want to take the picture in the rain. So then he decided he was thankful for the rain. But........it was dark out and raining.......how do you get a picture of that? I tried but it just didn't work. So............then he thought for a little while and said that he was thankful for SPECIAL THINGS. Huh? So he pointed to one of my most prized possessions and one of the most "special things" in the house that has a bunch of "special things" on top of it. He was thankful for my hutch. This is a piece of furniture that my Grampy built for my parents shortly after they were married. It is beautiful! When my parents moved into the house my dad lives in now there was no room for the hutch. So.......bummer........I had to sacrifice and put it in my house. I was so excited! And on it are plates, pictures, and other "special things" that are very........well..........special. I was amazed that this is what Jacob chose (even though it wasn't one of his first choices) for today's picture.

Nov 4 Picture

Dave picked what to take for today's picture. He told me while we were on our way to vote. He wanted me to take a picture from our driveway looking over the valley. This was to symbolize the free country we live in. So here it is.......

Nov. 3 Picture

Today was Benji's day to decide what Thankful picture to take. After being asked what he really thanked God for he said..............."you Mommy".............gosh, I love that kid! My heart melted! So he took a picture of me. He got to decide where to take it and all that. He decided to do a close up. So.........here's the picture for today.

Nov. 2 Thankful Picture

For today's picture I asked Chris to tell me something he's thankful to God for. He said......after much thought.......EATING. So I took a picture of my food cabinet in the kitchen to represent the food that God supplies for us.

We're Thankful For.....

I am now in a new challenge to take a picture every day in November of something I am thankful for. I am getting the kids involved in this and we're all going to take turns deciding what to take a picture of each day. For Nov. 1 I let them all decide together what to take it of. And this being the day after our Harvest Party.....and them each having a big bag of candy......they choose CANDY. So..........even though it is a bit superficial.........yesterday's picture is of candy.
