Nov 1: Thankful for my husbands business trip starting off without any hitches!! He has been on many out of town business trips, and most have consisted of some type of drama! Each financially, weather related, sickness, or stranded in airports! So I am thankful this short one started off great!
Nov 2: thankful that my aunt and uncle live close to us and don't If we stay with them with our crazy messy boys!! It's hard to live away from my parents and siblings, but I am thankful my aunt tries to fill that void for me! Thrifting and enjoying some of her yummy scones is just what a girl needs sometimes!
Nov 3: I am thankful weekends and Shane never has to work a weekend! Well unless he need a weekday off, then he may need to work a weekend! But I love looking forward to a weekend as a family! No matter if we are just staying home, or have fun plans, it's nice to be together!
Nov 4: I am so thankful that we are able to provide food for our family and that it is good, healthy food that keeps our boys and is healthy! Also thankful that my boys and husband are not too picky and allow me to make whatever sounds good!
Nov 5: Today I am thankful I was able to have some quite time to myself this morning before the boys got up! Reading the bible and sipping my peppermint coffee was a great way To start the morning!
Nov 6: This is probably everyone's for today, but I am thankful that my husband and I were able to vote! Well we sent in an absentee ballot a few weeks ago, but still, we exercised out right to be heard!! So thankful that despite this less that perfect world we live in, we are still far more blessed than many others! Lets not ever forget that, the next time we want to complain a out something.
Nov 7: Last night as we watched the election polls close, I saw a commercial that reminded me how blessed I am to have such healthy, smart, and amazing children. So easily it could have been or be different. I am thankful that God had blessed us greatly in this area. I also am thankful that if we ever do face the situation where one of our children is born differently, or something happens, our hearts are still and always be filled with love and joy over them. But right now, thankful for such healthy, strong kids.
Nov 8: Today, as our children woke up at 5 am, after a not so good nights sleep , I snuggle down on the couch with them and thought " we should be sleeping!!?" But then I thought how everyday, with the exception the few days he works in Richmond, shane is up anytime between 3-5! And drives up to 4 hours one way, to get to work that day!! It is rough in him, especially when you add in his work he has to do at home, spending time with his 2 children, time with his pregnant wife, and anything he can do to help around the house, time is very limited! He is always exhausted, dealing with headaches, eye twitches... Etc, and he still gets up everyday am works hard for us. I am so thankful for him. He is working so hard, so I can stay with our wonderful children, rather than strangers at a daycare!! The boys and I talk about how daddy works so hard for us, and how he loves us so much and that is why he does it. We are so blessed and thankful!
Nov 9: Today I am thankful for the weather!! It's been beautiful here and the boys and I have still been enjoying our daily walks!! Tomorrow is supposed to be a high if 70 :)
Nov 10: I am so thankful for weekends! It's the only time in really get to leave the house,besides going on a walk! We only have one car, and with Shane's travel, I can't just drop him off at work and then pick him up. So today we cheered on the richmond marathon runners and walked around the grounds of the Virginia art museum of richmond! We even got to meet up with some friends from Michigan, and cheer him on as he crossed the finish line!!
Nov 11: Today I am thankful for sleeping in! Even if it was only 20 mins, it was still awesome! Thanks husband, for taking the kids while I slept in !! And for making a bubble bath for me , equipped with chocolates and candles!
Nov 12: Today I Am thankful for God's grace! I need it everyday, multiple times!! This morning I think I woke up needing it! Thankful that I know how we get God's grace and what he did for us!
Nov 13: Today I am so thankful for our new little baby!! We got to listen to the heart beat today and it was amazing. It calmed both the boys and they were fascinated by it! We are due may 4th and I am 15 weeks 3 days!! Thank you Lord for this blessing!!
Nov 14: today the boys played so well together!! Not that they usually have huge problems, but today, Owen intentionally sot Henry out and played with him peacefully!! Almost all day' I was even kicked out of their room because they didn't need help! They are so cute! Thankful for brotherly love!!
Nov 15: I am so thankful we are able to give others and at an early age my children are growing to learn how to be a given, even if at the age of 2 almost 3, sometimes it's hard! Operation christmas child is something I have done with Owen for the past 2 Christmases and also mum parents have taken part in that and donating in Owen and Henry's name, jut so they see that grandparents can be givers to other children too!
Nov 16: every day this month I have been asking Owen what he is thankful for. Today he said " chickens, aunt melody's chickens!!" I am thankful for his sweet heart!
