Thankful

We survived our first family road trip, or the "Tour de Thanksgiving" as I called it. We went to Mamaw and Papaw's in Rabun County and then on to Knoxville, TN to see the extended family. It was a long haul and a slightly stressful trip, but so worth it because Parker met his great-grandparents for the first time. I will cherish the memory forever of my daddy handing Parker to his great-grandfather. And I couldn't help but get teary as my Nanna held Parker for the first time. I am so thankful for my precious, precious family. I was so fortunate to know my great-grandparents and am thrilled that Parker got to meet his. The Lord has blessed our family beyond description and for that I give Him praise and thanksgiving!

Love the great grandparent pictures, pictures that you will cherish forever. So glad I finally got to meet Parker. He is even more precious and handsome in person. Love, Miss Barbara
