Drew and Leigh Helveston

Well, we did it! 4 weddings in 14 months and it is official: all of our siblings are happily married. I cannot believe what a whirlwind the past 14 months have been, but it has been wonderful seeing all of our family and entering into this new phase of life with new brothers and sisters. We are ever grateful for loving families are our families continue to expand... oh, and Tommy and Amy are expecting in July!! Talk about constant excitement. Congratulations to Leigh and Drew!! We love you both! And a special thanks to EVERYONE who has helped out in a number of ways to make all of these weddings so special.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We were able to spend several days in Port St. Joe with my family. It was so nice to relax and spend time catch up with our family. Living in Orlando has really made seeing our families more and more difficult. We have SO much to be thankful for!!! I was thankful to see Granny and Papa. They mean the world to me and I miss them so much. Papa is a nursing home in Panama City and I am so grateful that he had a good day when I had the chance to visit with him. Count your blessings!!!! We all have so much to be thankful for.


Dad raking the leaves. He is such a jolly man!

Granny and I call each other "Best Friend." We are two peas in a pod!

The Thanksgiving set up. Mom worked SO hard to prepare a delicious meal!! It was wonderful.

Mom, Granny, and I went to visit Papa the day after Thanksgiving. Granny brought him an orange to eat as a treat. He pretty much inhaled it :) She is so loving. I hope Roy and I are that in love after 62 years of marriage. I miss seeing him, but he seems to be doing well.
