Over a year has gone by since I last wrote here.  There was much that happened over the course of that time, the marathon I finally did get to run, Christmas visitors from Sweden, an anniversary trip to Stowe Vermont, during the summer a week at the beach. There were also many changes that took place, new siding on our house (still in progress:), girls starting new schools (one in high school and the other in an intermediate school), a daughter dancing at a new studio, both girls in youth groups at church.  So many changes, and with them so many things to be thankful for.  Even in difficult things like my car accident this fall there were changes and hidden blessings.  I am learning to be more grateful, and here in this photo are the three reasons I am most thankful!
