SO much to be thankful for!

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I've updated you. No real excuse, just the craziness that is our life at the Dummer household! As we get ready to have a Thanksgiving feast and celebrate, I am going to turn my randomness of pictures into my list of just a few of the many things I am very thankful for!

First and foremost, my daddy! I love him like crazy and I'm so thankful that he's the one that God picked for me! He's the best dad in the world and I love all my special times with him....including (but not limited to!):

Visiting him when he's working in the field... 

Playing ball and dancing with him while we're cleaning out the garage:) 

Surprising him on an early Sunday morning and going for a tractor ride! 

I'm thankful for all the outdoor projects daddy has to I can hang out and be his little helper:) I helped him put up the Christmas lights here...

Helping him dig a hole for our new tree! 

I have SO many special people in my life to be thankful for! I'm thankful for the special time I get with all my grandparents...
Here, grandma and I got to snuggle while we watched papa and daddy plant the new tree! 

(Had to throw a family one in too, because even though daddy's my favorite, I do love my mama lots too:) 

I really LOVE and am thankful for my blankie! Mom and dad tried not to make me 'attached' to any one thing, but it's crazy how it just kinda happens! I love to snuggle with it at any given moment, and you can tell I'm tired when I start rubbing the silky part with my thumb and rubbing it onto my face:) 

I am very thankful for my baby doll. I could probably spend the entire evening at home taking care of her- pushing her in her stroller, changing her diaper, putting her in the cradle...I can tell I'm going to be a great big sister because I'll have lotof practice with my babies:) 

I'm also thankful for all the great books I LOVE to read! I am learning so much and have started to really say the names of the animals and other various things in my books- I love a good story! 

Even though I'm the blogger here, mom and dad have to jump in to and say how very blessed and thankful they are to have me:) (no kidding! ;) Everyday I do something new and amaze them with my cuteness and personality, and they thank God for such an amazing gift of getting to be my parents. Parenting has it's challenges, but the good times make up for every single second of stress:) We can't wait for our family to grow and for my new baby sister to feel the love too!  

 My newest favorite, which I know mom and dad are thankful for since I'm not usually a snuggler, is our special morning time...my new routine when I wake up is to get a snack and some milk, and just relax in bed with mom and dad:)

Baby Update: 24 Weeks (already?!?!)
Not much to report...baby is kicking and twisting and turning up a storm! My 2nd ultrasound proved to be normal and that there really shouldn't be any cause for concern about having to have a C-Section, so that's great news! My only 'symptoms' of pregnancy are really how tired I get and a little pain in my right side from the pressure of baby sitting over there, but if that's the most I can complain about, I'm doing pretty good:) Oh, and Daren and I both heard wrong about the weight at our 1st ultrasound, because last week they told us she was just about 1 pound (thank goodness...I was not ready for a 10 pounder like her daddy was!)

We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoys a few days with their families...I know we will!
Can't wait to 'officially' start the holiday season!
Love,
The Dummers
