The Thompson Family: Christmas with the Day Family

Thatcher's Story

I didn't want this to get lost in my list of posts, so I am creating a place so that everyone can easily access this link. Please read this touching story about baby Thatcher, our friends son who was born with a rare liver disease and is in need of a liver transplant. Jessie has worked closely with Brad for over 4 years and I became friends with her while working at WSA until I left last spring. Thatcher was born a month before Braden and this story really hits home for me. When I look at Braden I think about how incredibly lucky I am. This could just as easily be our him going through this. Jessie will most likely be the living donor for Thatcher and they are in need of our prayers! I promise you will be touched by reading this story. Thanks!

Christmas with the Day Family

This post is long overdue... It is from our family Christmas with the Day family (Brad's mothers side of the family) on December 20th. For the past few years we have made a tradition of meeting at the nursing home where Brad's Grannie is living and rented out one of their rooms. It is a large space and accommodates the large family very well! Thanks to Pete for these pictures...I took 2 and my camera battery died! I was thinking that it is a shame that we only get to see a lot of family only once a year at Christmas time. Oh well, it gives us a great excuse to get together. We had a great time and it was good to see everyone again! Here are a few pictures from the day...
