Thankful....... November 23rd

This is the first Thanksgiving that we have been at my mom and dad's since 2007. It is the pitts working in retail. And I won't go in to it AGAIN... because I have done that every year. I have all the same complaints, frustrations, annoyances... and once again, we are slaves to Best Buy. And even though I am not this year... I still feel bogged down by the suckiness.

At least we were able to be here this year. I've been excited for it for so long. We slept in. We watched the Macy's Day Parade. We ate waffles with whip cream.

And then the girls and I got all cleaned up and Raleigh went golfing with the boys.

And Brother took a nap

As soon as Dad got home and got cleaned up, we jumped into the car and went over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers house...

The Girls made towers with Dixie Cups

Raleigh made Dutch Oven Cherry Cobbler

And then my very tired and overworked boy took a much needed nap. He was at the store until 3:30 last night only to have to go back at 10:30 tonight and work all day long..... I love him...

We had a very relaxing and delicious Thanksgiving Day. I loved being with family who love us...

It's November 23rd.............. and I am Thankful for Thanksgiving Day

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
