Leah's Notes

As Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, I had a few thoughts to share. First, I am so thankful for all that I have and am able to do. Though our country is going through massive changes, we still have many opportunities that others do not. Second, I am so thankful for family. Especially around this holiday season.

Why is it that some kids are so excited to get dressed up in their costumes for Halloween and then there are mine. Throw a fit, kick and scream, and tears running down their face when finally I give up and say it's not worth it. I only wanted a picture and she was not going to cooperate. Mccoy on the other hand was willing, to get dressed up and get his picture taken.

It was time once again to do family pictures. I try to do them every fall, it hasn't happened every year, but we have done them at least every other year. What I don't understand is why they have to be such a big deal. The girl taking the pictures was just a few minuets late and my husband kept saying "she has a few more minuets to get here or I'm not doing them." My children didn't want to smile. Lindsey wasn't feeling the best and Mccoy wanted to do pouting faces. We just had to have the photographer keep clicking and we did come out with a few decent pictures.

For anyone who views this, please don't tell my husband he's on here. He'll throw a fit.
