1. Health--although the 2 week cold has plagued all of us, Elias is doing so well on profylaxis and has been bleed free. We were also able to kick his inhibitor out of the barrel in 3 months time. Elias is a very active boy who I think missed the memo he has hemophilia except for his every-other-day treat of watching TV while getting factor. (Well, he's allowed Sesame Street every evening as part of wind down...)
2. Family--we had the opportunity to spend the day with the Flora's and are reminded what a loving, thoughtful family we have. Many do not have this as Mama and Daddy experience each day at their prospective jobs. We are fully surrounded by their love and kindness.
3. Prosperity--we are able to finally live comfortably and have a larger barrel to open our arms for family gatherings as well as allow Elias to run and explore.
4. Love--to be able to give endlessly to all those in and visiting the barrel.
Here's some highlights from our Thanksgiving Day:
 |
| Mama made her first turkey! |
 |
| Although there was a small "incident" of missing giblets, it came out near-perfect (thanks to the guidance of Alton Brown and Gunthrop Farms for supplying a locally grown bird.) |
 |
| Our table of Bounty |
 |
 |
| Too much turkey? Someone fell asleep right at the table... |
