Counting My Blessings
I count my blessings everyday for my precious children. This photo was taken November, 2005, at Thanksgiving. Daughter (2 years-old at the time of this photo) did not want to wear her homemade pilgrim hat . . . but son (5 years-old then) was very happy to show off the Native American feathers he colored in Kindergarten class.
Happy Thanksgiving wishes to all!

Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Hope! The kids look too cute!
Have you heard the latest controversy now that some group has stirred up about not wanting kids to wear the native American/pilgrim attire? So silly!
They look very cute. I hope you and your family has a great Thanksgiving.
That's a really joyful photo Hope, and your children are adorable in their Thanksgiving hats. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, all of you :)
As Tanya mentioned, the controversy of kids wearing the native American/pilgrim attire is so petty. I can understand how certain groups can harbor anger from the memory of how their ancestors were treated, but what about celebrating a time in history--if even one day--that perhaps people of different cultures did come together and share a meal of thanksgiving?
I love this time of year and what it represents. The photo of your kids helps bring home the meaning of Thanksgiving.
As Tanya mentioned, the controversy of kids dressing up like Native Americans and Pilgrims is so petty.
I can understand that certain groups can harbor anger about what happened to their ancestors, but what's wrong with celebrating one day that perhaps people of different cultures did come together and share a meal of thanksgiving? Should that one day not be honored?
Hopefully the photo of your kids help bring home the true meaning of this great American tradition.
Hug the babies, eat much, and sleep well!
Memories. Aren't they great?
Happy Thanksgiving from across the nation. Have a great time with your "blessings" today.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! We began our day by helping deliver 15,000 Thanksgiving dinners to needy families. Yup! That's correct...15,000 delivered by 5,000cars with 3 dinners in each driven by volunteers. (My husband and I were one of the caravan). Organized beautifully. More tomorrow on my blog! Come visit to see the operation.
What a pair of cuties! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Hope :)
Happy Thanksgiving to you too and thanks for visiting my blog! Your pictures are great. I have some relatives in Knoxville, but haven't been there in years. It is a beautiful place.
Too cute! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
