The “Things” I’m Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving!  I love to look at my life through pictures.  We took a TON of great pictures this month.  Today I’m taking time to thank God for the things I’m thankful for.  Then I realized that the “things” I’m most thankful for aren’t things.  They are my family and the memories we’ve had.

One day my hubby put my daughter up in a tree in our neighborhood and now she LOVES to hang out there.  Perfect photo opportunity!

Watching my hubby interact with my daughter is one of my favorite things to see.  I married him for several reasons, one of them being I thought he’d be a great dad.  It’s amazing to see how sometimes God surpasses our expectations. The father/daughter bond they have is wonderful.  He makes it clear that she is loved no matter what she does—just like God loves us.

I say this all the time but it’s so true.  This kid melts my heart.  Everyday.  I feel this special bond with my son (probably because he’s our last baby)  I love holding him close and kissing his head.  Knowing that he’s not going to be a baby much longer is a bittersweet reality that I’m dealing with.  I’m learning to get in as much baby snuggles as I can because I know it won’t last forever.

I’m thankful for the funny things my kids do.  My daughter loves to wear her daddy’s clothes.  Seeing a little kid in big clothes ALWAYS makes me laugh.

My son is so funny.  Looking at this makes me think he’s pretending to be a baby thug.

My hubby does some pretty crazy things just to make me laugh.  This picture says it all!

I love giving my kids baths and seeing how the water amplifies their eyelashes.  This is the look I get when my heart melts.

Have a happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the memories you make with your family!
