Long-time readers of this blog know that I rarely, if ever, post photos of myself. But when I downloaded my Thanksgiving shots after getting home tonight, well I couldn’t help it just this once.
I think that my joy in being with my sons is quite apparent. It’s all I wanted today. That’s Matt on the left and Shaun on the right, who I hadn’t seen for awhile.
The food was great, the company was a pleasure, but seeing my sons and listening to Shaun play the piano meant the world to me.
I think I need a frame for this one.
Next month, I celebrate my two year blogging anniversary. For two years, I’ve been writing a post nearly every day and I can’t believe how much I enjoy it. In July of 2008, I began my other blog, A Picture A Day. It’s been wonderful getting to know you, my readers, and visiting all the wonderful blogs out there. To celebrate, I’m going to be holding a giveaway later in December. I’ll keep you posted on that.
Until tomorrow, then . . .

You can tell how happy you are. It shows in the picture!
Oh Kate - what a wonderful picture. Your boys are so handsome and you are positively glowing! Your boys have a look on their faces of being so happy also; I can just tell that they enjoyed being together and with their Mom.
I am so glad that you had a "good for the heart" Thanksgiving. That indeed makes it a happy one!
Hugs - Vanessa
Kate...This is a great photo. You can see how proud you are of your boys. I agree that you should frame this one!
Have a great weekend.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and this picture is definitely saying in a 1000 ways how proud and happy and loved you are with your boys! Framing it goes without saying! So glad you had a great day and very excited to see what you will be giving away on your blog in December!! I'm off to a Christms show with the kiddos at work today! Have a super Friday!!
Kate, that's a beautiful photo. Your mom pride just shines through. They're fine-looking boys with a very beautiful Mom. :)
Aw, Kate, that's wonderful. What a gorgeous family. (You have beautiful hair...!)
That indeed needs a silver frame. Maybe you can put it on your Christmas wish list. :-)
ahhhhh, I do believe your spirit is bursting right out of the edges of this image, CG...soaring.
You look absolutely radiant! What a wonderful day indeed!
That photo just makes my heart smile for your joy.
Thank you for sharing "just this once".

Really pleased for you, Kate. The smaile says it all.
What a wonderful moment captured in time forever! Indeed, do get a special frame for that photo and place it where you can see it every day. Hugs...
What a wonderful happy mother and sons photo this is. It definitely needs a frame so you can proudly see it every day.
Have a nice after thanksgiving day
Oh Happy Day!
Look at you glow . . . how lovely. So glad you received exactly what you needed.
Congrats on nearly two years of blogging. Thank you, too, for responding to my inquiry about Photoshop Elements.
So, glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Having your children home is such a blessing! Thanks for sharing your life with us for almost 2 years. What an accomplishment! The blogosphere is much more beautiful and interesting with you in it!
Isn't it wonderful when dreams come true?
Really what the day is all about - time with those who mean the most. Glad to hear you had such a wonderful day and thanks for sharing the charming photograph of you with your sons.
Handsome boys, nice looking Mom, lots of JOY, camaraderie, all good stuff.
Beautiful picture, I am so glad you shared it.
Barely restrained joy.
A wonderful shot... your husband behind the lens?
Congrats on two years - I started (properly) just a month later... it's fun isn't it? And just LOOK at the people you meet!
:-)

Beautiful boys -- beautiful Mom!
Thanksgiving....they say it's about food, but I say it's all about our families. It's a time to give thanks for everything in our lives.
Love the photo of the boys. I know the feeling well. My son and daughter are here to visit and we feel like a family once again! Oh how I love that feeling.
*gasp* You are beautiful! Your boys are handsome too ;0) I can see the joy ooze from your pores. Glad it was a good one for you. You deserve it!
Such a great photo. You clearly are very proud and happy to be with your sons. A true keeper Frame it!
Kate, I am sure that those two sons being with you made it a true "Thanksgiving" day. I want to thank you for your wonderful blog - it is the first one I read in the morning and it always leaves me feeling just a little better as I go about my day. Enjoy the rest of the long weekend.
Why don't you post photos of yourself, beautiful Lady with wisdom in her eyes?? Why? Look at you!!
I understand your thoughts of being with the boys, even though mine consume me with their energy right now - I know that there will be days to come where I only hope to see them at my door.
{lump in my throat}
Aaaaggghhh....okay done.
You are beautiful, Kate.
What a beautiful, priceless photo of you with your boys! So happy you were able to share that time with them and capture it on the camera!
Having met Matt I knew he looked just like his dad but I had no idea that Shaun too was a ringer for his pop ... this is such a lovely photo .. the love shines right through you, my friend, yes that needs a frame xo
All you wanted -- and more! Indeed, that photo is a keeper, and should be framed and placed where you can see it every day!
You have very handsome sons, and their mother is beautiful, in person and in spirit.
One proud mama! You are lucky to get a photo of yourself because when you are the photo taker, you are always behind the camera. I have lovely photos of the fam, but according to the photo ensemble, I was never there!
Beautiful. The most beautiful picture of you I've ever seen. ♥♥♥♥♥
Aw Kate, that is so wonderful! I can just feel the happiness of this moment. Definitely frame-worthy. :) And isn't it cute that you have one son who looks like your husband, and one who looks like you. And you, btw, look gorgeous!
Absolutely wonderful!
A beautiful photo of you and your boys! Thanksgiving is about family.
Blessings,
Krista
This really is a great photo, and you are beaming. Sounds like your day was as special as you are.
Kate, I love this picture of you and your boys. As a mama whose (one) offspring once lived far far away, I totally get your happy glow! :) So glad your boys could be there. -Tammy
Beautiful, beautiful photo, what a joy for you!
What a great picture! You look so happy to be with your family.
BTW, I love the new photo/header on the blog!
What a beautiful picture...the happy look on your face makes me happy too! I am so glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

What a beautiful photo, the 3 of you look so happy.
I can feel the joy and happiness beaming right through the monitor...oh yes joy...A beautiful portrait of a mother and sons...frameable for sure....
...Oh for cryin' out loud, cute overload! ;o) And may I say, I adore your hair!
...Yes, I remember when I found you. Your profile photo was of you sitting on a swing or a bench on the porch of an old log home. I remember thinkin' to myself with the Country girl name and the profile photo that you were a kindred spirit and I was right. You were then and still are today... :o)
...Lovely photo and thanks for sharing... :o)
...Blessings...
Obviously you felt the fullness of Thanksgiving. And it shows in all of your faces. Great photo.
You look so truly happy and content there with your boys on either side of you! Yes, I'd frame that one for sure.

You are sooo lovely. AND, your pride is showing just as a mother's pride should.
