"Thanksitting"

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

~Thomas Chisholm, 1923. Music: William Runyan

Violet all ready to head over to the Kiesz household for turkey dinner

We celebrated Thanksgiving on the island a couple weeks ago. Violet had some quality time with the grandparentals as well as the great-grandparentals. Awwwwww we miss you guys.

Here are a few more shots from our fall family pictures. I love that first picture....Violet was totally bored with the photoshoot.....what a diva. (LOL)

And today Violet sat all by herself for an extended amount of time....





Here's the aftermath...
