It is November and Facebook is aflutter with people posting their daily thankfulness.  I have not had a chance to keep up, so I felt this would be a great place to share my thanks.

I could never capture everything I am thankful for… each day I find myself in thought about the amazing blessings I have been given.  But in the spirit of the season, I share this list of thanks.

I am thankful for…

• the family that Aaron and I have built.  We have so many tremendous blessings!
• Maddox.  He is an absolutely incredible child.  He is wonderful and difficult.  Lately, he really seems to be coming into his own.
• Gavin.  He is a miracle.  He is healthy and growing each day.  He is so happy and such a joy.
• my mother.  She is the strongest and most incredible woman I know.  She continues to teach and inspire me each day.
• my extended family.  I would never have made it through last year without them.  My family would never have been able to survive and recover so quickly without them.
• my friends.  They have taken care of my family, me, and supported us through so much.
• the fact that Gavin has not only survived, but THRIVED, on his mother’s milk alone.  It is miraculous and warms my heart!
• this holiday season with my family.  After missing out on so much last year, this year will be even sweeter.  Also, many members of my extended family will be here to share it with us!
• the chance to be home with my boys right now.  I never thought I would have the desire to stay home, but it was a true calling for me.  It isn’t easy, but so worth it.  Our entire family appreciates all it brings.
• the incredible neighborhood that we call home. We are surrounded by some of the most thoughtful, funny, amazing people.  It is a blessing to call so many close and wonderful people, Friends.
