Daily Thanks Day 21

Today I am thankful for you.

This day got off to a late start.  Both boys are sick, so not only did I not get this posted, but I didn’t get much sleep.

 

I am thankful for all of you who have read, who do read, who follow and who like my posts.  I appreciate you taking the time to read what I have to say, so thank you.

Daily Thanks Day 20

Today I am thankful for my husband.

 

I meet my husband when still in high school back in ’96, we have been together ever since.

We have struggled and had our ups and downs but our love for each other has always prevailed.   We continue to grow and change for the better, every day.

I couldn’t imagine my life with out him and love him dearly.

Daily Thanks Day 19

Today I am thankful for THESE boys!

 

For two and a half years Ian has been the center of my world.  He now shares that spot with his little brother.

Everyday I wake up for them, everything I do is for them.  To make them safe, happy, healthy.

I love them with all of my being and could not image my life with out them.

Everyday I am thankful they are mine.

Daily Thanks Day 18

Today I am thankful for indoor pools at rec. centers.

Yesterday was a typical Pacific Northwest fall day.  Cold, big, thick drops of water falling from dark gray cloud covered skies.

My toddler was getting a bit antsy staying inside so when my cousin called to tell me she was taking her daughter, who is only a week older than Ian, swimming I jumped at the chance to go.

The kids had a blast and burned off tons of energy.  Ian went down the big red slide, but only once.  He didn’t like the fact that we go under water at the end.  He said it scared him, but there was the little kid slide with a shark on it.
