Giving Thanks

Well it's Thanksgiving in the States and even though I am no longer living down there I still think of home and family on this day. I have so much to give thanks for, I am truly blessed. My children are all healthy and heading in the right general direction. My parents are in a new home that they are happy with, thanks to my brothers and sisters-in-law. And of course the ones closest to me who make me thankful to be here in Canada.

And now we are awaiting the birth of our second child together. A new life is always reason to give thanks. We have a fairly good idea as to the sex of this baby, but respecting my mother's wish not to know (she's old fashioned that way), I will not reveal that piece of information at this time. It certainly helps to know this when trying to pick potential names though.

We gave grandma the opportunity to break the news to all of the Western Landi, a task she lives for. So this Thanksgiving should be a little more special for all due to this special little one.

Children are the only miracles that we humans are able to perform.
