thankful for...

-brendan's first flight being smooth and easy and family who drove to jackson, ms to pick us up

-friendships that state lines can't falter and babies who are also destined to be great friends

-brendan meeting his great-great grandmother, re-re. we had all prayed for this moment since we found out i was pregnant with brendan.

-catching up with family and friends...and introducing brendan to some of those people for the first time

 -seeing family again in a month

 
-this sweet boy and his dad :)
