Not good at this

Ok so I pretty much stink at blogging. I was going to "be Thankful" for 30 days and I wrote one blog. WOW!!!! How time flies when you have an infant. I have decided I sure don't get a whole lot done. But I guess they do require a lot of time. I will try harder. :)

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and we had a great day! We went to our friends The Platts and had a wonderful time. We ate and ate and ate and ate. Just like everyone else in this country did yesterday. I am very thankful for my friends. They are all so wonderful.

We then made a little trip to mom's house and saw the fam. I am thankful for all of them too. Especially my mom she helps me out a lot and I know she loves to see the kids and have her time with each one of them. It is great to watch how excited they get too when they know they are going to Grandmas. Caden is actually the one who really enjoys Grandma. While we were eating Thanksgiving dinner, he looked a little sad and so after we were done I asked him what was wrong. And at first he couldn't tell me but has I pushed a little bit more he told me "It is just weird that we aren't at Grandma's house." And he almost started crying. So I had to reassure him that we were going over there and he would see his grandma today. They are pretty tight. Always have been. It is really sweet.

Overall it was fabulous day and I am soooooo thankful for family, friends, freedom, love, and the Lord. He is with us and directing us in everything we do. Praise GOD!!!

30 Days of Thanks

This is something I saw on a blog from a girl that use to be in our church in Ft. Collins. She was great and is soooo creative. I started following her blog and thought this was great. She got it from someone else but it good to pass these things on. So....here I start, although I have started a few days late, I guess I will have to go into Dec.

I am Thankful for:
1. All the great ladies at my Thurs morning Bible Study. They are such a fresh breath of air.
2. The crying 5 week old downstairs. Although she is a fussy mess a lot lately I love her and am Thankful for her. She is a blessing and God gave her to me for a reason. She is sweet and precious.
3. Waffles for dinner. Breakfast items anytime are great.
4. My lovely bed. I seem to spend a whole lot of time there lately nursing my dear sweet baby. I spent a lot of time in it the 9 months before too so why not continue, although I am not sleeping as much as before.
5. Pictures. Arlee pulled out an old album and it reminded me of all the great times in Ft. Collins and when Caden was little. Time flies by.
6. my hubby. He works hard for us and does all he can to help out with the kids and house. I love him.
7. God loving me. Even when I doubt.
8. a relationship with God. He may make me walk through the wilderness but I know he won't ever leave me alone in the wilderness. he is guiding my every step.
9. the warm weather in Nov. ALthough I could use some more fall weather and not winter.
10. that I am going to reflect on being thankful. This doesn't happen enough.
