Thankful

I am thankful for so many things. My mom, my sister, my amazing husband, his wonderful family, my Arizona family who we will be celebrating with tomorrow....the list goes on when it comes to people in my life. I am blessed. And then I am thankful for my career, for being able to doing what I love. And for balance - I get to do what I love part time and raise my babies full time. It was always a dream of mine, and that dream is being realized. I am beyond thankful for the "simple" things as well - (more than) enough food in my refrigerator and pantry, health insurance that allows my family to stay healthy, a home big enough for all of us to have plenty of space, clean water, heat when it is cold outside, clothes for the sake of frills instead of necessity, safety in my home and community....and I know the list could go on and on. I will never understand why I was so blessed as to be born into this life. And I try not to go even one day without taking at least a moment to say a prayer and to say thank you.

And then, of course, the two blessings in my life that leave me speechless. There are no words to express my gratitude for these gifts. I am so, so thankful....









Happy Thanksgiving!

    Although we will not be together on Thanksgiving Day, I am sooooooo thankful for my friends I won't see today but also our two AMAZING SONS, their wives and our two PRECIOUS grandchildren. Words can't describe the love we have for these amazing people and these pictures bring tears of JOY in my heart for them all. LOVE YOU ALL and see you soon.

    Amazing pictures!!

    And the tool belt and tunnel are both from Ikea. And were so cheap! The tool belt was $3.99. And the cutest thing about the tunnel is that they crack up when they play together with it! I'll have to post a video of Clara screaming "Lukie! Lukie!" as they both crawl in it. Best $14 I ever spent :)

    Happy Thanksgiving to your family too! I forget sometimes in the midst of life that I have so much to be grateful for also. Family, FRIENDS, babies, my immediate family her in AZ and a great husband. I Thank God most of all for providing all that we need.
