I will give thanks.

I realize it has been quite a long time since I've posted. I'm sure you understand that I've been busy working on my Mimihoodship. There is much to do in that realm. First of all I must spend every possible moment with Walker and his mommy, helping all I can and holding when I can't help. I have had a delightful two weeks going over to Wyatt Street every day and just basking in the presence of this precious little boy and his dear mommy.
This Tuesday and Wednesday will be our last Precept classes for the fall. We finish Joshua and will begin to study Judges in January. I will stay home tomorrow and finish my study. I don't know how I'll be able to keep away from Wyatt Street -- perhaps by God's grace I'll have strength!
I had a car accident on Saturday. I was on my way to pick Ben up from wrestling and was rear-ended. The car will need to be repaired on it's back side and my back side hurts more than usual. I'm not sure if it is the accident or just my achin' back!
Thanksgiving is coming soon. This is Rick's favorite holiday -- not for the eating so much as for the simplicity of celebration (although he admits to enjoying the food and football). The family will come together and this year as always we have much for which to give thanks. In addition to all the many rich blessing of this life, we are particularly grateful that Rick is cancer-free and strong again, that Kara has come through pregnancy safely, and that we have a new family member, Walker Christian Morris. God's grace toward us is amazing. We are so undeserving of His goodness and are continually humbled by His dealings with us. Most of all I am grateful that He has provided a Savior and that our family knows and serves Him. What could be better? Nothing! His lovingkindness is better than life.
