* A Little Homework For Thanksgiving *

Since it's Thanksgiving time My son Ridge had to pick a topic on what he is thankful for. He decided to pick his family. So this is his paper. All I really did was help him get the wording right. He wants to write his own book someday and of course being his Mom I think he will do a great job. He is in the 3rd grade.

Family is where you can find your best and closest friends. Members of a family take care of each other. They are always ready to help even if they have to change their personal plans.

Parents change their own plans all the time to stay with their children when the children need them. Sometimes they give up their dreams to realize the dreams of their kids.

Families don't have to be necessarily a father, a mother and kids. Today we have different kinds of families. We have single parents, stepfathers or stepmothers, half brothers and sisters, or families without kids.

What is important is if they support and love each other before anything else. It's the way we see a family. Even if someone in there family makes a mistake, family members help each other.

God helps our family and he can help yours too.

Happy Thanksgiving " Ridge "

We added the words to a song Ridge likes from Nick Jr about Family.
I stopped and listened to it one day when Jennifer was singing away in front of the TV. The words are so very true. Sometimes I get these songs in my head to with Nick Jr on most of the time. I love it !!!!

Song is by : The Laurie Berkner Band called " FAMILY "

Family!

When you’re in my heart, you’re in my family,
When I’m in your heart, I’m in your family.
When you’re in my heart, you’re in my family,
When I’m in your heart, I’m in your family!
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
Cousins, friends, sons and daughters,
Uncles, aunts, and grandparents
I’m so glad you’re my family!

Oh, I’m so glad you’re my family.
I’m so glad you’re my family
I’m so glad you’re my family
I’m so glad you’re my family.

Even if you’re far away
or if I see your every day
when you’re in my heart to stay
You’re my family!

When you’re in my heart, you’re in my family
When I’m in your heart, I’m in your family.
When you’re in my heart, you’re in my family
When I’m in your heart, I’m in your family.
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
Cousins, friends, sons and daughters,
Uncles, aunts, and grandparents
I’m so glad you’re my family!

Oh, I’m so glad you’re my family.
I’m so glad you’re my family
I’m so glad you’re my family
I’m so glad you’re my family.
