As Thanksgiving approaches, I am reminded to take a step back from the busyness of everyday life, and reflect on the many wonderful things in my life that I am thankful for. This year we have been blessed abundantly, and there is no doubt that I am overwhelmed with gratitude for these many blessings. And so, without further ado...my list of gratitude begins (in no particular order, except that in which they first come to me.)
- the addition of Elliana into our lives! God blessed us with the perfect addition to our already happy family. A healthy, beautiful little girl entered our hearts and forever changed our lives. The joy that Elliana brings to T.J. and I each day is more than I ever imagined was possible.
- my incredible husband and best friend T.J., who is an incredible husband and father.
- our family
- the ability to work at home as a mom & wife.
- smiles...lots and lots of smiles.
- afternoons at the park
- play-dates and date nights
- first words, first steps, first laughs of our baby
- the fact that my daughter asks for "dad" all day long. :)
- Elliana prefers books over toys
- family vacations
- grandparents
- XM Kids Place Live...responsible for many dance parties
- our yard
- hand me down clothes and toys!
- friends
- days that we never get out of our pajamas
- that my husband strengths perfectly balance out my weaknesses
- nap-time
- our home
- watching my daughter carry a purse around the house
- giant baby hugs
- cuddling
- words of encouragement
- our church, always offers the right words of encouragement
- special treats
- the time to take a few moments to reflect on these many things and many more!
