I am, everyday, thankful for my family.

I am thankful for my husband who raced home two days in a row this week, to care for our children because I was struck with the stomach flu. My amazing husband who has taught me over time to rely on him, and has never ever let me down or complained along the way.

Born first in my heart, then in my body, now we’re connected in spirit- my sweet Sunshine girl who is as feisty and fierce as ever. I love who she is and pray her spirit stays as strong in life as it does in this house. My wild card, my temper, my smart as a whip little girl who has just enough good to make her warm and just enough terrible to make her interesting.

This year, I’m most grateful for the addition of Saint Jude. My amazingly calm, happy, handsome son- who was placed on my chest just four months ago and somehow I have known him my whole life. I thank God everyday for this little boy, this sainted child.

When I hold them both in my arms I am reminded what I have been called to do, and who I’ve been trusted to raise, and oh how my heart sings their praises!

My two beautiful birds.

I love these three humans with my whole heart. Thank you God for these three and all the ones who love them and me.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
