Sweetness and Light

This Thanksgiving, we were very thankful. Who wouldn't be with a gift like this...


Lucas Wendell was born (by induction) on Thanksgiving day, just before 4pm.

Lucas means 'Bringer of Light' or 'Luminous'.



This Thanksgiving turkey weighed a "whopping" 8 lbs 5 oz.

He has jet black fuzzy-spikey hair, just like his sisters, though daddy is convinced he'll turn out "blond, just like the others." (I don't think any of them are really blond. A very dark dishwater blond maybe, but I'm more apt to call George light brown. I'm sure it'll darken, anyway.)

Little "Wookus" has the. softest. cheeks. ever. and I love
kissin' on 'em and rubbing my face against his, every chance I get.
And I get to a lot. Cuz I'm a baby hog. It's a proven fact.


We feel very blessed to have been gifted such beautiful and healthy children.
Our house may not be quiet or tidy, but it's never dull, lifeless or lacking in love.

Thank you, Lord, for these enormous blessings.
May we honor you in our parenting.
We ernestly ask for your wisdom and guidance, as our charge is not taken lightly.
Thank you for your grace and unconditional love that is undeservedly lavished upon us.
May we bless you back, as our show of thanks. In Jesus name, Amen.
