Thanksgiving and praise

There have been moments where I sit down to blog but something comes up...a prioritized nesting to-do, sleep, or some random distraction. I will say among all of those things, Jonathan and I have been spending such sweet, quality time together. Whether we are cooking or working on a house project, we have shared lots of laughs and precious time together. It's hard to believe in a few short months, our baby boy will be here and we will be a family of three. It's important to us that we put God first, each other second and our baby boy third...so many wonderful people have shared their wisdom and experience with us and we both know how much our first child will mean to us once he's here. We know we will have to work to spend time together as a couple, not just mom and dad and conversations of "how dirty the diaper was". During the season of Thanksgiving and Christmas we are more aware of just how many blessings we have and are continuously prayerful. We pray that God will prepare us to raise a son who follows The Lord and comes to learn what faith grace, love and forgiveness mean. We pray for patience (especially me). And most importantly, we thank God for his gift of marriage and choosing us to be parents to Denson. My heart is full of appreciation for the wonderful family and friends who support us and have already shown so much love for Denson. It means more to us than you know.
