Happy Thanksgiving!

To all of our friends and family we want to send out a prayer for a very Happy Thanksgiving!  We realize it has been a very stressful year.  Never in our lifetime have we had such a downturn in the economy, one that has left many Americans searching for jobs and wondering how they will pay their bills.  We hope and pray that things pickup in 2011 and businesses will start hiring.  In the meantime we need to look after each other and be there for each other until better times come along.  Thanksgiving is more than just an overindulgent holiday, it is a time to reflect on family and friends, to reach out and tell love ones how much we care for them and if need be offer support.  We hope you all are safe and healthy for the holiday season and that you take good care of yourselves until we meet again in 2011.

We are still in Colorado and are really enjoying watching the grand babies.  We are as tired as we have ever been in our lives but we would not change one second of our lives.  With Christmas right around the corner we are looking forward to celebrating with Kris, Amy, Kasey, Karsten, David, Nikki, Ty and Milie at David's house.  We are sure it will not be boring!   We will be leaving Colorado right after Christmas but will be leaving with very mixed emotions.  On one hand we would love to be with Kasey and Karsten forever but we also know that mom and dad deserve their time with the boys!  We will have plenty of pictures to remember our time with the boys and we also have Skype so maybe we will not be too homesick.  Thought we would add a few pictures to the blog to give you an idea of how much fun we are having!

Grandma, Kasey, and Grandpa

Kasey helping swing Karsten - he is such a big help!

Karsten sleeps in a fighter position -  Maybe he knows Kasey will be over to help him again!

Carter lets Kasey do everything including taking his bone right out of his mouth!  Of course, Carter also sits right under Kasey's high chair whenever Kasey eats!  Never bite the hand that feeds you!

Mom does nails - Kasey is not real  happy!

Again we wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!  Have fun over the holiday's and please be safe so we may see you in 2011!
