The other night Karah and Bradley stayed up late. They played horses with each other, wrestled, and laughed. I was overwhelmed with such feelings of love and gratitude for the children that we have been blessed with. I took a few snapshots to try and capture these feelings. So while I am at it - why don't you tell us what YOU are grateful for?
I am Grateful for My children
Yesterday I had planned to go to Branson for the day with my friend Courtney. We were going to bring Bryce along so Tom could get yard work done and not have to deal with all three of the monkeys. As I was getting ready to leave, he said,"Why don't you leave Bryce here with me? You guys will have more fun if you aren't having to worry about the baby and there is no sense in messing up his routine. Leave him where he will be more comfortable. He will be good for me - don't worry."
We took his suggestion and enjoyed a girls day of shopping and lunch while Tom sacrificed and took care of things back home.

I am Grateful for my Best Friend, Tommy T
I am so blessed with such a loving husband. I get so excited when I hear the garage door go up at the end of the day - knowing he is back from work. He treats me and the kids with such kindness and respect and always makes sure that we know we are his priority. Even on vacation he brought me flowers when he ran out to the store to grab a few things we had forgotten. He takes no vacations from loving us. He is such an incredible man and I consider myself blessed that he would have me as his.
It is fun to know that even though the kids will grow older and move on to have families of their own - we will always have each other. There is nothing I like more than being with him, laughing with him, and sharing my life with him.
So, sorry for the sudden love fest - but sometimes a girl just has to get it out!
So what are you grateful for?????
Can't wait to read about it!
Thanks for sharing, Sarah, I love your love fest. I am very grateful today for my Heavenly Father and Savior. I love the blessings in my life. I am also very grateful for PUBLIC school, well, good public schools. I'm grateful for a wise woman who once said, "What are you doing?" When I was homeschooling and stretched beyond my limits...and not really doing a very good job at being a teacher and a mom. I'm grateful for my children and my husband and my two pups. I'm also grateful that my family and pups are patient with me on the days when I could probably be a little more attentive, a little more patient, and a little more of what they deserve, (she writes as she blogs while her laundry is piled, her dishes are dirty and her refrigerator is in desperate need of some TLC...oh and there's not much to eat in the house either!) So, most of all I'm grateful that I've learned that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it....ooh and I'm grateful because I hear Todd doing the dishes right now...sometimes his need for cleanliness is quite a blessing!!
