thankful...

So, November is typically when people give thanks for what they have.  I try to do this all the time and this blog is a great way for me to remember all that I have to be thankful for.  It's a great opportunity for me to really sit and reflect on my days and remember what happened.  Days are busy here, as they are for everyone.  If I didn't sit and do this a few times a week I'm afraid time would pass and I wouldn't even take an appreciation for all that happened.

I can honestly say that several times a day I walk upstairs and see the doors to the kids' rooms.  Each time I look up at the doors as I get to the top of the steps I think about how lucky I am to have them, my husband, our dog and my home.  It's really a sequence of thoughts that honestly happens several times a day.  I could go on and get all emotional, but instead will end it with this...

I'm thankful for the ability to put a huge tattoo on my youngest son's belly... love it!!

I couldn't get a good picture of him with it, so I'll include a few okay ones. ;)

[this is proof that this kid never sits still... here he is running at me as I try to take his picture]

Keep smiling!
