Jonah's First Thanksgiving

Happy Belated Turkey Day! It's been a month since our last posting because we've been traveling a lot. Most recently, we spent Thanksgiving in Valparaiso, Indiana with Rebekah's family. It had been several years since we last visited so it was great to be back and see everyone for a few days and give Jonah and his great-grandparents the very special opportunity to get acquainted.The fam, Thanksgiving day.

After all the family visits, we stopped in to see the Pipes family in Lafayette. We went hiking Mark and his dog Riley. Just for such occasions, Mark and his parents got Jonah this cool hiking backpack!
