Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!  We have been so touched by the out pouring of love and support on our journey to Jailyn and it just keeps getting better and better.  We are so thankful for all our family and friends.  We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams.  Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving and celebrate the blessings!

We received the nicest most meaningful gift from our incredible attorney, Sue Gilkey at Rosenacker Law Office (who rocks if you ever need an attorney).   Sue was on board with us through our endless paperwork journey from the beginning to now.  We met with her this past week and Sue surprised us with a gift.  She took all our photos off our blog and made a DVD montage of our journey.  Every time I watch it I cry.  You know it has been like a dream these past 5 months with Jailyn and so special.  All the challenges we faced and face just make life with our new baby girl even sweeter and more special.   I love the photos to music and it touches my heart all the way down deep in my soul.  Truly our happiness has been found in the journey.   Thank YOU Sue and everyone at Rosenacker Law Office for the DVD and being on our journey with us.  

I love Thanksgiving because Mike and I met on Thanksgiving 14 years ago and it has been a special holiday for us over the years celebrating the night we met.    However our first Thanksgiving with Jailyn was perfect.  We still have a whole weekend full of family fun still to come.  Last night we spent some time with our neighbors and she was a big hit with them and quite entertaining,  Jailyn is so social and loves people and so happy to be included in all the fun we have.   Today was action packed lunch at my brother's home with my family and then home for family nap time and then to Mike's Dad.  Tomorrow we go to Tewes Turkey farm for our Turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner at our home with Katie and Billy on Saturday and will get the house decorated for Christmas.  Saturday Jailyn will goto her first Breakfast with Santa at St.I's.  Sunday will be shopping and Mike is headed to the Bengals game with clients.

I love the long Thanksgiving weekend and we have plenty of time to begin Christmas preparations. I can't wait to celebrate with Jailyn her first Christmas and see the holidays through her eyes and her smile that lights up her world and ours too.  So blessed and so excited as the holidays approach......

With love and Thanksgiving for all the blessings,

Linette
