Thanksgiving 2010

We had the pleasure of celebrating Thanksgiving as both a family of 3 AND a family of 4. A few days before Lillia was born we went to Chris's family's house to have an early Thanksgiving feast with them. Then on the actual Thanksgiving day our sweet friends, Curtis and Jess Penick, invited us over to share in their festivities. I must mention that Jess is a fantastic cook ---and I was completely amazed at her seemingly stress-free attitude towards the very daunting task of Thanksgiving dinner. Great Job, Jess!!

It was amazing weather, so we let Matt open his Christmas gift early :-)


so sweet

And I have to include this next picture for Lillia when she's older... Here you are in my belly, just 1 week before we got to meet you---35weeks pregnant. We had no idea you would surprise us with your arrival in just 8 short days!!!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
