Thanksgiving

Well, we at the Roop house have a lot to be thankful for this year. Not only has our son decided to stay put in the comforts of his mama's belly a little longer, we have our sweet little Raegan who is happy and healthy. We have a marriage which seems to get stronger every day, and we have our wonderful family to share our memories with. Thanks to all of you for your prayers for us now and throughout the years!!
This is Thanksgiving morning, and Raegan is wearing the dress my grandmother made her. Most of you who knew me in my childhood would probably have flashbacks of me in those frilly dresses and patent leather shoes. I even put ruffled socks on her. (We don't get very girly often :) I have to admit, she did look really cute! (I'm 33 weeks pregnant now!) She was giving her best cheese! She looks like a baby doll in this picture. Almost not even real!We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my 93 year old grandmother whom Raegan was named (Estelle). It was a fun filled day visiting family and eating as much as our bellies could hold. Raegan took over the role as family entertainer this year. Here she is very excited to accept the teddy bear that Mom Owens gave her. Riding horsey with Uncle Ken.I just love the look on her face. She looks really guilty of something! You can see, she had every one's attention. As most of you know, Raegan is somewhat of a loner. She doesn't cuddle much and definitely doesn't take up with people she doesn't really know. She is very cautious when it comes to strangers... or so we thought. This is Raegan with my little cousin Jordan. He is about 15 years old and Raegan fell in love with him as soon as he walked through the door. She kept wanting him to hold her (not something she does often with anybody) and cried her little heart out when he had to leave. It was very sweet!
Jordan was a very good sport the whole day. He did whatever she wanted, and even watched her "buppy" and dog while she played. It was a rare sight to watch Raegan with him!
