Thankfulness Day's 18,19,20,21,22

aka- wow I keep falling behind but I really am thankful each day.

Thankful for cousins. Growing up (and now) I truly had the best, real cream of the crop. I am excited to see my kids have a fun relationship with theirs. Three are in Florida but when we are together it's is really like no time passed.

Thankful my buddy has one of his best buddies home.

So thankful for a fun race day. We all did our best and went home feeling proud and stong.

Marcelina will be doing her first 5k with me Thursday morning and I am pretty excited to share this with her.

So super duper thankful that 38 years ago a little baby boy was born in a land far far away (ok fine not that far) and that he would grow to be my prince.

Thankful that my lady feels so confident in her new glasses.....

...and that sometimes she is just as crazy as her "weird mommy"

Thankfulness Day 14

(another cell phone shot)

I am thankful for my kids imagination. I am not a very good "player" I use to beat myself up over this, not any more. It is fun to sit back and watch what they come up with. Way cooler than anything I could do.

Thankfulness Day 13

I am so very very thankful that I can celebrate my children's victorys with them. Big or small they are all pretty exciting.  Today my sweet sassy lady was very excited to show me she figured out how to blow a bubble.  She was proud...I was proud.

Thankfulness Day 12

I am so thankful for my Foo Foo bunny head. Daisha Rose, is strong willed and big hearted. She has more fashion sense than I will ever have. She is a wonderful artist who will grow to create beautiful things. She made me an aunt and she will always have a very special place in my heart.

Thankfulness Day 11

Man my brain has been mush and I forgot to post this again. Of course this does not mean I did not spend my day thinking how grateful I am.

We live in an amazing country. It's not perfect but it is amazing. We are free to believe what we want, to disagree with what we want without fear. We have so many freedoms and it is so easy for me to forget not one of them was free. Men and woman have fought since the forming of this country for each and every one. These outstanding people don't think they are outstanding, they just do their jobs because it needs to be done. They sacrifice so much for me......I am humbled.

There needs to be a better way to say how much this means, thank you seems so small.

P.S. To my girlfriends who also share in this huge job by supporting, loving and doing the job you need to do please know you are never ever far from my thoughts or prayers.

Thank you to all of our Hero's

May the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.  (NLT)
