Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

We have SOOO much to be thankful for this year!  ...and we got to celebrate that thankfulness with turkey and pumpkin pie FOUR times!  Yes, that is right, FOUR TIMES!  I am now also thankful for warm weather in November so I could squeeze in a few runs!

Things were so crazy last year at this time.  Baby Janke's arrival was getting closer and while we very excited to meet Baby J, we were also so scared of the unknown.  Little did we know that he would be a superhero and amaze us everyday with new milestones, good health, and lots of snuggle time.  He made heart surgery look easy for crying out loud!

We also learned of my dad's prostate cancer in November last year.  This news was so devastating and surreal.  I remember thinking it all had to be a bad dream.  You know the saying "When it rains, it pours"...it felt like it was hailing.  But a year later, we celebrate my dad being cancer FREE and an amazing dad and grandpa.

So although last year was a time that has forever marked my soul, this year will be remembered as the year that we knew every little thing is gonna be alright.


The thankful tree that the kids and I made.  We added a new leaf everyday.  This will definitely be a new tradition!
Papa love ;)




This marble run has been around since before I was born!

There may or may not have been a cousin fight over Clay right before this picture!?
