Here a turkey, there a turkey!

Let's all say our prayers for all the fire victims, some you may know and some you don't. The power of prayer is so much deeper than we even know. There where so many lives changed this weekend because of fires. Lives changed forever, filled with sadness of losing their homes, their things, their all. But, they do have their lives, they are all alive. It is so beyond a miracle that no lives were lost. Many firemen and women, police men and woman, and just brave soles did all they could in their power to save all that was burning or in the line of fire. They are all true HERO's and deserve a big, "THANK YOU!!!"
My thought and prayers go out to Uncle Mark and Aunt Cindy today. They will arrive back from the Dominican Republic where they were with Rebekah, to see their home. I don't have many details, but I do know that their house does have some fire damage and that the guest house did get some as well. If it was not for their son Matthew and son-in-law, Kevan, as well as a few more brave soles(I am not sure who was all there, other wise their names would be on here too), I am sure that house would not be standing today. They faced danger and fought a great fight, we are all proud of all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with their neighbors too. They lost everything, just right next door, their home burned to the ground.
With that being said, that brings us to what Bryce and I did today after making a few phone to check on relatives in the fire area. A few weeks ago, we took Bryce to story time on a Saturday morning. After a few books about Thanksgiving, they had a great little craft. We thought it was so cute that we even brought an additional one home to make later. Well, later was today and not just one more turkey joined the flock, try a total of 8. I had found the website that you could print these off, so we made more. We had such a great time doing this together, even Grandma Midge joined in with the coloring. Then there was a surprise visit from Grandma Ginny who joined in for a minute too.
