My Greatest Blessing

Every day I am thankful to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. It is my greatest blessing----I don't know where I would be without it and every other blessing I have been given stems from it. I am especially thankful for the knowledge that families can be together forever. Knowing this brings me peace and happiness.

I got a couple of days behind on my thankful posts, but I think with this one I'm caught up.

I'm so thankful for Isaac. He keeps me busier now than he ever has, and there is never a dull moment with him around. I sure do love this little guy. He has a big imagination and an even bigger heart. Today he told me that Lightning McQueen is his best friend. I won't even try to compete with that, but maybe I could be tied with his dad for second place...

Tomorrow

I'm thankful that Maddie gets to rid herself of this cast tomorrow. Our little champ even figured out how to walk in her new leg (and climb on chairs, and climb on kitchen tables, and dive off of sofas head first, and bounce up and down on recliners...heaven help her and me).

Cousins

Today I am thankful that my children have had cousins to play with this past week. They don't get to see each other very often, but when they do it's always fun to see them together.

Giving Thanks

Today I am thankful to be able to spend Thanksgiving with family. We are really enjoying having Gavin, Becky, Eleanor, and Katie here in Iowa with us. Every time we go somewhere, Isaac asks me "Does Ellie get to come back to our house with us?" He loves having her as his constant playmate. We have a lot to be thankful for... Including a whole pie per adult in the apartment. I like those odds. We ate apple, French Silk, Fresh strawberry, and pumpkin.
