Jack has always had a silly, goofy personality that you can’t help but love and adore.

Here’s a bit of a picture dump for Grandma and Grandpa of what we are thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday:

Can I let you in on a little secret?

When I was a teenager, I didn’t really want kids. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t around babies much, but I didn’t have a strong desire for children. My wishlist was to get married and have a family, but it never sunk in that “having a family” meant having babies of my own. I wanted to travel and have a career and do all sorts of grown-up things. Babies interfered in every way with those dreams.

But when I fell in love with Tyler and I saw him around my nieces and nephews, everything changed. I suddenly wanted a family so badly. I grew up and realized it wasn’t a scary thing at all to have kids, but that it was supposed to bring joy and happiness and bind the two of us together as an eternal family.

I never, ever, ever dreamed having a kiddo would be this joyful, that it would bring such deep satisfaction into my life. This Thanksgiving holiday, I am grateful for eternal families and the joy and peace they bring to our lives.
