So much to be thankful for . . .

I am so blessed. As I have been going through photos from the last couple of months, I have been overwhelmed by the big and little things that make my life so wonderful, and for which I am so grateful. Here are just a few of the many gifts I have been given:


Amazing family:




My kind, sweet, selfless grandmother:


A love for nature--something my boys share with me:



Healthy, energetic boys (sometimes I forget that energy is a blessing)




A sweet, smiley Gabey face--who wouldn't want a basketfull of that?!





Good friends:



Dirt--it saves my life:



Sweet blond hair to add variety to our brown-haired crew:



Lack of Television programs, but joy of the occassional DVD

(like for family "haircuts and a movie night")

*this was Isaac's first haircut--just a little off the bottom


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I don't know how people get through life without it!

This is La Primaria del Ramo di Forli:


Sweet brother moments:



A House to live in--and we really LIVE in it--and a great yard for exploring and adventuring:


Obviously,

THE BOYS who make life full, challenging, unpredictable, and fun.

And a Practically Perfect husband, who takes such good care of all of us
(So glad that he fell for me):


Thank you, Heavenly Father, for all that I have been blessed with.

Thanks for sharing Becky. Your attitude is an example that we can all learn from (and need). I am wondering if there is something about Mom's blog that is not updating the new blog entries (that is what I base my "Blog Check" on. Josh's, Rachel's and now I see yours, are not updating... All that to say sorry it took a while to drop in....
