But really we all have so much to be thankful for. We need very little, yet WANT a lot!... guess we never really grow out of that huh?
This year I'm thankful that I get to be home. It's busy, crazy, messy, frustrating and sometimes lonely but I know its right. It's all about what you make it to be. God has continued to provide and fulfill my need to be creative and busy. Last year He blessed me with my plush monster idea. Even though making those monsters and shipping them for Christmas made me a bit crazy... I realized that Christmas would've been a lot harder to pull off if it wasn't for that extra money. This year it has been my photography. We've needed the money for clothes for the kids or misc. things but it's there, we've needed it... God provided it.
I'd love to move... it's hard to have kids (boys especially) and not have a yard or a place for them run freely. Most days the boys sharing a room is lovely and fine but there are those days that the thought of 3 kids in one room makes me feel crazy before the baby is even here! YET I can't escape the fact that God is providing for us HERE... right here... where we are... were we've been.
I'm thankful for our families who love our children so much. My parents have driven down just to watch the boys if we are really in a bind or just because. Most of my grandparents are still alive. Both my Grandma's and one Grandpa. I have such special memories of them when I was little so I love that they have a chance to make memories with my kids now. Levi's Grandma (baby lover to the core!!) passed away before Wesley was born and Levi's Grandpa got to meet Wesley a few times before he passed in April 2007. We miss them dearly but mostly we miss their opportunity to get to know our kids. So for that I'm thankful that most of my Grandparents are alive to be able to love on my kids and create their own memories. 
Jack & Wesley tickeling Granny (or Great Granny) to them.
