thankful

It has not been a great fall for us.... 

So I am thankful that it is almost over. 

I am also thankful for my family. 

I took this photo 2 years ago for my Mom and Dad.

It is all their Grandchildren. 

this photo I took Monday. It will be their Christmas Gift.

(I am 99 % sure My Mom doesn't read my blog so... I hope that this will be a surprise.) 

I am not thrilled with my work  

but it was really hard to get the 3 families of kids together 

with Rain, Sickness... what have you it took over a month to coordinate. 

I then took about 350 photos... Monday. 

Got home and started to edit... oh. had my setting's to 3200 ISO. 

LOVELY.

I did get about 3 shots that are okay.. It was a bit darker so It worked in my favor. 

I wanted to retake them but it is not going to work. So 

this is what they will get. 

they are a handsome bunch! 

They range in age from 18... that would be our Emily, to 

the youngest, 4 our Madelyne. 

Emily liked this shot...

she is looking down at Madelyne and Maddie is looking up at her. 

And my favorite shot... 

(Dom calls it my signature shot) 

Risked my life... for this one... laying on a road...

What a girl won't do for her art. 

anyway, I am thankful that I was at least able to  take these photographs. 

I am thankful (as Jen pointed out) it wasn't a paying customer that I screwed up on...

((THANKS JEN))

and I am thankful for my family. 

I would have to say that they are the most important thing in my life.

I am grateful that I have them. 

That my kids have them. 

Happy Thanksgiving. 

Enjoy your family, 

Eat to much and relax.

Be thankful for the little things. 

Enjoy reading this Psalm

I am most thankful that I am a child of God. 

Psalm 100

A Psalm of Thanksgiving.

 ¹ Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
 ² Serve the LORD with gladness;
         Come before His presence with singing.
 ³ Know that the LORD, He is God;
         It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;^[a]
         We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
       
 ⁴ Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
         And into His courts with praise.
         Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
 ⁵ For the LORD is good;
         His mercy is everlasting,
         And His truth endures to all generations.
