Thankful

Though our life is filled with trials and tribulations there's so much to be thankful for....SOOoo much.

First off I'm thankful for my faith.
Sometimes I feel like I teeter totter but God keeps me close and I find myself closer than ever.

Next for our wonderful sets of parents.
Nick and I are extremely grateful we have such wonderful parents.
Parents who love one another unconditionally and showed us the way a good marriage should be.
They showed us that with a marriage we have to take it all, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I'm thankful for Words.
When our boys were born one thing Nick and I used to tell one another was how our we going to handle the "Why?" phase.
The constant curious questions children always ask.
Our "Why?" and curious questions never came.
Our boys were wordless, we were sad.
We wish we could of had the "Why?" phase, if your little ones driving you crazy with their "Why?" questions relish it. You don't know what a blessing it is.
But alas, they have words.
LOTS AND LOTS of words.
So many that I actually found myself telling the boys..."HUSH, can you stop talking over each other just for a minute so I can collect myself?"
I felt like I was slapped at my new reality....they talk.
For that I will forever be grateful.

Husband, how tell me how did I get so lucky?
Sure he loves video games and is almost 30, a major die hard Cowboys fan and every football season I am become a football widow.
But he's so beautiful inside and out.
He's a great husband, amazing father and devote christian, and he's all mine.

I'm thankful for our health, family naps, cool evenings, family dinners, knock knock jokes Z just doesn't get but looks so cute looking at us like we're crazy for trying, E being so attached to his mommy still, Z's smile along with E's big eye's that can get them almost out of anything!, and teachers and therapists the boys have been blessed with whom so many have become beloved family friends.

So much more to be thankful for but you know, you'd be here reading all day.



Oh this picture makes me laugh, Nick towers over me, Z's really trying to work out that smile, E is well I don't think he wants to be in the pic and both boys look so squirrely!

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
