Thankful... Day 26

Today I am thankful that we were able to spend Thanksgiving with some of our family and that no on got sick at all this year! This is probably the first time in several years that we haven't contracted some sort of virus around this holiday. I probably shouldn't have even typed that ...

Brian and I were talking today and we are both thankful that our children are able to know both sets of grandparents! All of our parents bring such joy to our children and it is a blessing to see these relationships happen. I pray for them to have many more years with Mimi, Daddy Mac, PawPaw and Granny! Thanks to all of you for loving us and our babies so well. We are blessed by all of you!

Thankful ... day 25

I don't live close to my brothers so our families don't often get to see one another. Today I am thankful that we got to spend time with my younger brother and his family. We were able to spend time together last night and today through lunch. It has been almost a year since we've seen them - way too long. But they finally got to meet sweet baby Carter and all of the kids had a blast (a loud blast) playing together! We're looking forward to being able to spend time with them again after Christmas and then we will also get to see my older brother and his family!

Today I am also thankful for that amazing 1 hour and 20 minute nap I got!!!

Thankful ... day 24

Today I am thankful that my brother-in-law (Brian's sister's husband) had a successful surgery today. Praying for a quick recovery for him. We are so thankful for all of our family!

Thankful ... Day 23

Today I am thankful for my new hair!  It's not a dramatic difference but it was a treat to get a cut and color that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  Linda has cut my hair since I was a little girl and she knows how to cut curly hair!!  And she also made me a bow for my Christmas wreath!!  Can't wait to get home and put it up!

Thankful ... Day 22

I am thankful today for a special Sunday with family.  We were able to sleep in a little and all get ready for church together.  (OK, we actually slept a little too much since we ended up getting to church late, but oh well).  

Then we ate lunch at a country buffet - all-you-can-eat artery-clogging Southern food!!

I am thankful for special days with the family!

Thankful ... Day 21

Thankful that today we are heading to south GA and warm temperatures for Thanksgiving week! Now I need to go to bed and get a little sleep before we start our vacation week. Dreaming of cornbread dressing, broccoli casserole, etc!! YUM!

Thankful ... Day 20

Carter! Such a blessing to us. He has brought so much joy to all of us! All of the kids think he is 'their' baby! There is always someone to talk to him, play with him and entertain him. I am thankful that he has been such a good baby and that he lets me get plenty of rest. I love waking up to his big smile every morning!!

Thankful ... Day 19

Ellerie - the sweetest spirit. She was such a good baby - so easy going, so sweet. She still is! She always brings a smile to us every day. I just love to hear her talk - and she does that all the time. And I am so proud of her for basically potty-training herself this past month! Yeah Ellerie - we love you baby girl!
