Happy Thanksgiving from Carter!!! He prepared a special artwork with the help of his teacher's Ms. K and Miss Aileen to share with everyone on his 1st Thanksgiving.
This time last year Katie and I knew that we would be sharing a special 1st Thanksgiving with our new addition however we had no idea how much it would mean. The past year has brought many challenges but it has come with great reward. This Thanksgiving we are thankful to have this amazing little miracle in our life and thankful for all that he has taught us. I have said it before but I will say it again, his strength and determination has gotten us through the toughest times and as we celebrate this holiday and many more to come we are so thankful that God has blessed us with so many gifts of life, health and inner strength. I am especially thankful for my wife who is not only an amazing mother but an amazing soul mate. She brought this little man into our lives and her strength to protect him and beat the odds is something I will forever be grateful for. I am also thankful for our families who have given us so much unconditional love and support. We are so blessed to have the confidence that our families will do anything for us and for Carter. Although Thanksgiving has taken on a lot of meanings since the Indians and Pilgrims celebrated it in 1621 the one thing that has been a constant is unity. We all unite in the blessings that we have through rich family traditions and share our faith and good fortunes. This holiday has taken on so much meaning and I truly appreciate the prayers and support of so many who read this blog.
