What are you thankful for?...

It's that time of year when you sit back and really think about what you are thankful for...I am thankful most of all for my family. What a year we have had and it could have all turned out so differently...I am thankful that we are all healthy and happy and have all that we need and most of our wants we are truly blessed! I am thankful for a daughter that tries so hard to achieve each new goal in her life, whether that be put on velcro shoes all by herself or just talking in sentences plain enough for strangers to understand...her drive is amazing to me because no matter how hard it is for her she keeps smiling and trying! She has made me a better person just watching her overcome obstacles and relate to the world around her! I am thankful for a son who breezes through each milestone like its no big deal and seems to understand and function way beyond his age. For a boy that's all boy and loves mud puddles, dirt and rough housing any time he gets a chance!! What a blessing as a mom to get to experience both sides of that! I am thankful for our extended family, we are so blessed to have so many aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the family and that is truly a blessing!! I am thankful for our Church family and I mean family when I say that! They have been right with us through so much and whether it was praying, bringing meals, or just listening we are so blessed!! I am thankful for a God that listens to our prayers and answers each and every one, not always with yes or no sometimes with wait but he answers them! I am thankful for all of our friends!
I asked Haley what she was thankful for in the car this morning and she said Brock and Brock said Cows!! I assured her he was thankful for her too! I hope each of you has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving this year!
