Dear family and friends (including our blog friends),

Happy Thanksgiving! We have much to be thankful to God for, as I am sure you do as well. This time last year we had 0 children on Earth and one in Heaven. Now we have four children in our home! What a difference a year makes.

Adele’s been with us for three weeks, and her improvement has been astonishing. Last night my mom took the boys to her house for a sleepover, so we had some time for just us and Adele. She giggled, laughed, smiled, pushed her new stroller + baby doll around everywhere, and we even treated her to watching part of a movie (one of the Janette Oke ones). She still has a ways to go to bond with us (especially with trusting me), but she has come a long way even in that. Yesterday she and I spent a while in her room and read books together; she is learning a ton of words right now and pointed to every picture in her book and said “Look! Look!” so I would tell her what the object was. She giggled and gave me big smiles everytime.

So, we hope your family has a blessed Thanksgiving today: May our Lord give you many graces!

The Rose Family

Adele
