Giving Thanks

We all have so much to be thankful for. Some things are serious, some are trivial, but they all make our lives better, easier, and happier. In honor of the holiday tomorrow, here are some things that we are grateful for:

• Our Families. We wouldn't be who we are without them, and we can always count on them to be there when it matters.

• Our DVR. How else could we watch 8 episodes of Super Why! back-to-back and also keep up with the shows we can no longer stay awake long enough to watch?

• Having everything we need. We may not have everything we want, but our needs are always met. And can you really ask for anything else?
  

• Washable, non-toxic crayons. They are a miracle. Just this week they've been washed off the walls, the floor, clothes, and Hampton's face & teeth.

• Our health. You never think about it until you hear stories of others. We are blessed to have a healthy child, our health, and another healthy one on the way.

• Pizza. It's the world's most perfect food, and has just been classified as a vegetable. Now we can eat it and feel even better about ourselves!

• New friends that are like old ones and old friends that are like family.

• The internet. It allows us to stay up on current events, find new recipes, shop at our leisure, keep in touch with loved ones, and helps us waste endless hours.

Our faith. It has gotten us through some tough times, and it has given us something to be thankful for every day. This is what we want to pass on to our children the most.

A sense of humor. Because with a toddler, we need it!
