I am thankful for...(in no particular order):
Being the mother of two wonderful boys. There was a time that I never thought it was possible.
Having a amazing, supportive husband and father to my boys. I have to laugh when people asks if Randy is a hands-on Dad! He gives those boys 100%!
Having a stable job that I love, even if this has been the hardest year of my career.
That my parents live only a 1/2 a mile away- even if it's only for half of the year...I know it's for the kids, but I selfishly love seeing them so often :)
That our boys have real relationships with their Grandparents & Great Grandma and that they get to spend quality time with them, quite often.
All of our "extended family" that has become our boys "aunts", "uncles" and "cousins"
Hearing so much laughter in our home.
Having a church family that makes me want to be a part of the community and be a better person.
That my family is healthy.
That our boys have a daycare/"school" that they love going to and that they are productive and excited about what they do each day.
That my husband is a partner with me...he works just as hard as I do... we do so much together...and I love that!
That Randy lets the "kids be kids" and is giving them a childhood that is filled with fun, laughter & great memories.
That we live surrounded by mountains. Not a day goes by that I don't look around in wonder.
I have lived in the VA/WV area for 19 years now. I am thankful that we have such a strong bond of friendships built over that time.
That I still smile when I hear the word, "Mommy!"...even if it is in the middle of the night ;)
That we have built a home full of comfort- nothing like having the gang over for movie night in the theater!
That I still want to help people and do what I know is right...even if it isn't the easiest.
Seeing our boys want to be near each other...care for each other...and love each other.
Family hugs and dancey-dance time.
Hearing our boys try to so hard to sing along with "Jingle Bells!"
The wonderment and excitement leading up to Christmas...amplified by our kids!
Snuggles, kisses and the occasional pillow fight, monster attack, tickle fest or pile on.
