What a great idea Mari. Especially at Thanksgiving time. I'm going to work on my "favorites/grateful for" list later today. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI loved watching the videos of your family singing and dancing. How great it is that Charles can accompanying you! wow! A hidden talent coming out. He has a very nice voice too. He has improved on it since I last remember him singing. Well done Charles.
Stephen loves watching your kids on videos. It always makes him smile.
Keep smiling!
