Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Amazing how much we all have to be THANKFUL for! So easy to take our blessings for granted in our busy, daily lives.

As you are all asleep we are starting our holiday. A local Kazak restaurant has found a turkey for us to enjoy. There will be the two other adopting American families who we have become close friends with, our driver, interpreter, and 2
Americans with the Peace Corps. Unfortunately Alena has school, so we will see her before and after.

We want to thank all the folks at GE for all the support, especially Bob, Joe's boss, and all his co-workers, as well as David who is holding down the fort while Joe is out.

We want to thank all of our friends and family for all the prayers, we know they are being answered!

Joe will miss watching football with a full belly and Jonathan will be missing the pumpkin pie!

Most of all we want to thank God for this amazing opportunity to hopefully impact lives.

We realize just how blessed we are to be living in the U.S. Be sure to give all your loved ones big bear hugs and kisses on this wonderful day of Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving and all our love from Kelly, Joe, Alena, Jonathan and Jameson!

PS the ground is covered with ice and it is snowing lightly today.
