Thanks be to God

This Thanksgiving we were grateful for many things.

We were especially grateful for a tiny new grandson who has recovered well from neurosurgery and who should have no complications as he matures.

We are grateful that Sister Murri could go to Salt Lake and Provo to meet him and help with the other grandchildren during his major recovery time.

Grandma Murri meeting Jack for the first time at Primary Children's Hospital on November 20.

Finally getting to hold him.

Jack's first picture after surgery with no tubes. Date is his birthday.
We are thankful for gracious members who welcome us into their home for a bounteous Thanksgiving dinner with family, good friends, and missionaries after Sister Murri's flight back to California on Thanksgiving Day.
