Dear Mizzou,
Kiss my Jayhawk!

Sincerely,
Aidan Pennington

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't find my camera, so I had to take a picture of Aidan on Thanksgiving with my webcam. Sorry for the bad quality!

We have so much to be thankful for...
a happy, healthy baby boy
wonderful parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews
dear friends
gainful employment
a beautiful home
pumpkin pie! :)
and much, much more.

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you. May the gift of gratitude fill each of your hearts, today and every day!
