We had a fun weekend in Pennsylvania over 
Thanksgiving. The weather on Thanksgiving Day was really weird...70 degrees in the morning but dropping over 20 degrees by a
fternoon with 
rain and lots of wind
! But the boys spent
a few hours playing outside in the morning...catching butterflies even!
On Saturday we headed to the Bass Pro Shops to check out the many animals on display there, and - WOW - did Mr. Blue-Eyes love it! I don't know if I've ever seen him so excited. From the moment we walked in the door until he fell asleep in the car on the way home to Virginia, he didn't stop talking about the animals. "Mom, did you see that cougar? Mom, did you see that deer? Mom, did you see that black bear? Mom, did you see that wolf?" Constantly. The whole time we were in the store. He was on overload, I think. :-)
Now for the GOOD NEWS! When we got home on Saturday evening, there was a letter in the mail from the Bar Association saying that Stephen's petition for re-grading on his bar exam resulted in him PASSING the bar!! Can you say "THANKFUL?" What a great moment - of course, the boys couldn't understand why Mommy was crying and shrieking and jumping up and down... :-)

In all seriousness, as we look back on this LONG process of law school and bar exam stuff, we have so much to be thankful for. The Lord has been faithful in providing what we've needed. We haven't always been trusting Him for it, but even when we are unfaithful, He is always faithful. Praise God for this new mercy in our lives!
