I have so much to give
Thanks for...SO much.
Thanks to my family,
Thanks to friends coming my way,
Thank you to everyone that
touches my day.
Thanks to my husband,
Thanks for my home,
Thanks for a resting place
wherever I roam.
Thanks for new babies,
Thanks for sweet life,
Thanks for allowing me
peace amidst strife.
Thanks for my children,
Thanks for grandchldren, too.
Thanks for the blessings
that fall on this crew.
Thanks for Thanksgiving,
As we gather this clan,
Bless every child in it
and woman and man.
Which brings us to the banquet,
The banquet of life,
Where some poor old turkey
Gave us his life.
We'll surround him with taters,
We'll smother him with peas,
We'll say, "Pass the gravy"
and Thank You and Please.
But let us remember,
As the table boards bend,
That all of this bounty
Belongs to God in the end.
Amen!

LOL what a great post... Happy Birthday to your son -
I still can't believe how fast they grow up! Happy B'Day Wishes!
What a sweet birthday post. My daughter's is tomorrow and only a year behind him. How cool. Now let me pick my jaw up off the floor. Is that my vintage dream car that I want my husband to find! You have it! That is so funny. When my husband started working on vintage cars I told him I love the old Mercedes convertibles. I have a 2004, but not the same. Love yours. You know you want to leave it to me before your family!!
They grow up so fast, don't they???? Love this post, Diana! What a wonderful tribute. Ahem...also love that car! You might have to be buried in it!!! lol
Hello Diana,
What a handsome boy and a sweet story. They do grow tooooooo fast!
Happy Birthday to your son!

What a sweet post! I love this kid! I just love the photo of him sitting in the sink!
Craig was a bunny one year- but he was Donald Duck many times!
Happy Birthday, MamasBoy! I hope you have the best kind of day and hug your mama, cause she's the best mama around!
Hugs- Tete
I loved that...it breaks your heart that they grow up doesn't it..especially a son. He is a handsome guy..Happy Birthday to him. (My daughters is tomorrow) :D
Come on, give him the car. You have totally embarrassed him on the internet with pictures of him in the sink and a bunny outfit, so you owe him something.
Diana,
So sweet of you to write this to him. My son was born in December of 1979. Our sons are two weeks apart and were both blond, blond.
Your sons silky blond hair was to die for.
Love your car!!!!
Awesome post Diana...I love all the pictures too!!~ Happy Birthday to your handsome young Man! Time flies right? Making me sad to think about it...I will enjoy every second. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
What a great post! I just popped over from To Everything a Season as I saw your comment and thought you were using a photo of Loni Anderson as your i.d. Turns out you just look like her! :)
Your son is lucky to have such a wonderful mother and such a beautiful wife!
Enjoy the Green Bay area for me! I have cousins there...
What a sweet dedication to your son! There truly is something amazing about moms and sons isn't there? I'm so grateful that I get to experience it too! :-)
