Just a few of the things I am thankful for (in no particular order):

• This crazy blog world and all the amazing ladies I have met and continue to meet
• My parents for being loving, supporting and just plain awesome

(pic was taken in Kenya)

• a working car (today anyway) 
• My wonderful Kids (taken in HI)

• the gift of adoption
•  My husband

• Sounders FC soccer games with my girls

• warm summer days on the boat

• that my bro is not afraid to sing karoke

• sisters

• camping (when its not to cold out)
• my other bro and his wife who have gone on this adoption road before us and being patient when we ask them the same questions over and over

• COFFEE

Happy Thanksgiving!!!



A Typical Saturday

Soccer is our family sport.  I played soccer for about 12 years, the kids currently play soccer.  We love to watch the Seattle Sounders FC, we even met Steve Zakuani (the lead scorer for the Sounders). 

Steve and the kids

****Steve was originally born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and has a ashes to diamond testimony.  He started a foundation called Kingdom Hope in hopes of helping kids aim higher and reach their goals while teaching them about Jesus.
