Giving Thanks

After a frustrating day of sitting at the DMV to become a true Georgian, and then spending the entire afternoon at the grocery with two children... I was a bit lacking in the "thankful" category.  However, both babes are napping and I opened up a link to read what was not properly labeled as "EXTREMELY emotional."  

For those of you interested in reading a blog that will make you thankful for all that you have, please click below.  Because of this reading, I have not stopped crying, and I have gone into kiss my children countless times already.  Please be aware that there is nothing I will pray for more tonight than for this little boy Tripp.

On that incredibly sad note, I will try to turn the rest of my post into a happy read. 

I am thankful for my husband who continues to make me smile every day. He is my heart, and together we are the strongest foundation to build a happy, healthy family.
I am thankful for my babies.  They inspire me to create a life of imagination, wonder, health, and happiness.
I am thankful for my mom <3 I love you Mom!
I am thankful that I have great in-laws, and an amazing brother-in-law.
I am thankful for my extended family... we may be a small family, but it's not about quantity - it's all about quality.
I am thankful for my friends - my oldest, my newest, and ALL in between.
I am thankful that we DVR'd some great shows this week :)
I am thankful for great wine, good books, and delicious food.
I am thankful for coupons - with which I saved $101 at the grocery today! (Too bad I still spent $180)
I am thankful for co-sleeping - I get to wake up with all my loves every morning.
I am thankful for cloth diapers because they save us money (when I'm not making more or buying more) and are some of the cutest things my children will ever wear. EVER.
I am thankful for finger paintings hung above the mantle.
I am thankful for "me" time, but love nothing more in the world than some "family" time!
