Being Thankful for the Present and the Past

---

Thanksgiving

As hard as we try, J and I will probably always have trouble convincing the kids how lucky they really are. Cleaning up your room, having to eat THAT for dinner, being forced to go to school in their warm clothing, carrying fancy musical instruments - life can be so unfair!

I'm thankful for everything I have, and as much as I'd like to believe it's all because I work so hard or that I applied myself in school, it has a lot to do with family (both mine and J's) and now the kids are benefitting from that. Where you start has a lot to do with where you end.

'Tis the season to be thankful. I am thankful for how lucky I am.

Back to the Future
Here are some pictures from the distant past that have never made it to The DEB Log. They were taken long before I started this web endeavor (webdeavor?). Enjoy.


K was upset about something. So we took his picture to cheer him up. (2004)


K in a happier moment showing off the snowman he and his dad made. (March 2005)

I hurt my back doing this. I'm not sure why, it might have been that I was wearing the wrong shoes. More research needed. (June 2005)


One of my all-time favorite pictures of the boys and me - this was at Lake Michigan in August, 2005.


M is stepping out - handsome devil! (2003)


Another of my favorites of the boys - overlooking Lake Michigan from the cottage we stayed in. (2005)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
