Nov 13 thankful

Today I am thankful that God designed breast milk! and gave me the strength and endurance to nurse Bella for what will be 17 months next Tuesday! What an amazing feat it is to have never given her formula!

Days 11 & 12

Day 11- I'm so thankful for church and christian music! It encourages me throughout my week and I look forward to attending on Sunday!

Day 12- I am thankful for our home. It keeps us warm, we have room for friends and family and its so much more than we deserve!

Thankful Day 10

I am thankful for adorable nephews and nieces! I love me some Dax, Lana, Wylie, Sis and Tommy and Owen and Jake! They bring some much like to my life!!!

Thankful day 9

I'm so thankful I get to stay home with my children. My husband works his behind off to make it happen. I love being able to wake up with them each morning, not have to rush around, being the one to drop G off, making cookies together and playing play doh! I adore all the small moments as much as the big ones. And even in the tougher moments I thank God He trusted and called me to be a Mommy to these two beautiful ones!

Thankful Day 8

Today I'm thankful for four AMAZING sister in laws!!! I couldn't have chosen them better myself. I didn't grow up with "real" sisters (just Kristin and Lauren- who are now my cousins) Joe and Will have a lot to be looking for to live up to these girls!
Tiffany is the best mom to my adorable, sweet, smart and ornery niece and nephews! She keeps my hard headed brother in line. And best of all she's been a great friend and sister to me!
MaryBeth is such a great aunt! Always giving more to the kids than any other person I know. She's even adopted extra! She bakes with a passion! She has also become one of my best friends over the past 5 years!
Alyssa has always been long distance but she doesn't let that stop her from keeping up with the kiddos and us. She keeps Mikey on his toes and is such a great compliment to him!
Anne Marie- well I did kind of "pick" her! Haha! She is the most recent to join the family but perhaps seems like she's been here the longest! What am amazing step mom she is to the kids and again she keeps Jeff in line! She makes him happier than I've ever known him to be! And Duh- she's one of my besties too!!!

Day 7 song

While I refuse to get into political debates on Facebook, I will say here, I am a little uncertain of our country's future but I know that in the end God is the highest power and is in charge of each one of our futures. Our story is already written in his book and so therefore I choose to praise Him even when things look grim.
Praise You in this storm- Casting Crowns

Thankful Day 7

Cheesy but true- I am thankful for electronics and appliances that make my life easier. I love keeping in touch with friends on Facebook and being able to journal life on blogger. I love that we have a new dishwasher now so hand washing dishes isn't a necessary evil anymore. Lol! I am thankful I am incredibly blessed to have all of these things readily available to me!
