Happy Thanksgiving!

So it's Thanksgiving morning at the Carnahan house and we woke to a small surprise this morning...SNOW! It's officially cold and officially "winter" in my mind, regardless if the actual declaration isn't until late December.




But have no fear, the kids are nice and warm and were happy on the couch this morning. I think Titus takes after his Mommy and Elsa after her Daddy on their morning moods. Titus needs that morning milk (and Mommy needs her coffee) to be pleasant. Elsa is usually pretty happy in the mornings until she gets hungry (same as Daddy) which is usually about an hour or two after she wakes...AKA here in about 15 minutes. Guess I should get some coffee on soon and wake Mommy up to feed Elsa while I get started on breakfast. Everybody's happy then!



We are having Thanksgiving dinner at a good friend's home today. It's been an annual tradition for all our friends without family in town to get together. We are very blessed and thankful to have such wonderful friends here in Albuquerque. We are also very thankful for our family in Kentucky (and elsewhere). We miss you and hope you have a wonderful day. (Funny to think that both sides of our family will be having dinner within 3 miles of one another today.) Most of all, we are thankful for Christ's finished work and even though it's not yet Heaven, Christ's Kingdom is already here...Already and Not Yet.

Finally, please continue to pray for our adoption as we are completing the final paperwork for our dossier to submit to Ethiopia. We are especially thankful for our growing family. In all likelihood, this time next year; the Carnahan family will be even bigger.
