Thanksgiving memories

Sorry I have been away for so long. We have just been finishing projects, enjoying the cooler weather and now with our first dusting of snow hunkering down and enjoying a reflective season. Proeun was off for the whole week of Thanksgiving and we finally had minimal projects to work on. It gave us time to enjoy our home, farm and family.

For Proeun and I this time of year is always amazing. It was 10 years ago this week that Proeun proposed to me. Or as he said yesterday, “10 years ago I was busy trying to convince you that I was the one.” He didn’t have to work too hard. There have been alot of great Thanksgivings since then and Proeun is always at the top of my list of gratefulness. Now as we start our 10th anniversary year we are living on our dream property and creating a dream life. Part of that is having a place to raise our soon to be 5 children.

We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our 5th baby, so I will probably be more or less absent from this space for awhile. But I did want to share a great picture with you captured yesterday at our prenatal by our amazing midwife Tracey of Twin Cities Midwives.

Mavis (and all the children) can hardly wait for the birth of her new little baby. She has been going through the pregnancy with lots of sympathy pains. Here she listens to the heartbeat of our family’s newest member.
