Since we often reflect on "Giving Thanks" during November I am listing some things that Greg and I are thankful for.
We are thankful for.....our church community and the opportunity to serve the youth group.
Greg is wearing the "Armor of God" that the youth group
made to illustrate Ephesians 6:10-19.
We are thankful for... job opportunities God has provided and the relationships formed as a result of those jobs.
Staff members from Gymboree at the Pumpkin Patch Party. We are dressed as "Crayola Crayons", I of course choose pink!

I am passing out "bubble catcher" castanets and blowing the famous Gymboree "Bubble Oodles" to the 3 year olds' in my Level 6 class.
This is the view I have most days at Our Saviour Lutheran School when
the kids play on the playground after homework club :)
We are thankful for...family.

We are thankful....for friends.
Greg outside our apartment at 5:30 a.m. as we wait for our dear friends to take us to the train station. (Thanks Ken and Cathleen!)
I am not as happy to be on the train so early in the morning...
but still very happy that we had good friends to take us!
Dinner with Bryan at the Italian Village in Chicago.
We are thankful...for good food!
Enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Mom and Dad Schebler's.

Couldn't resist the Chicago style stuffed pizza.
We order a bit much, but it was sooo good!
BOGO Free Holiday Starbucks, while waiting on our
baggage at O'Hare, love it!
I had to get a Chicago style hot dog before we flew back to
California, I am clearly enjoying it!
The grandparents even tried a Livermore wine with Thanksgiving dinner.
These are just a few things Greg and I are thankful for this year! As we move into Advent and look forward to Christmas, we will to continue to be thankful for our abundance of blessings.
Happy Birthday Jessica!
We were so happy to celebrate your 29th birthday
(not 84th as the candles indicate) with you this year!
