1000 Gifts

Recognizing the blessings.

Gratitude: #1-21

* for dates with my little man...sharing a few moments of sweetness and digging into a good book together.
* for the serious demeanor of the biggest of our small ones...and how that focus might serve him well in adulthood.
* for kid's hot chocolates and yummy pumpkin spice lattes being served in the same place...to be enjoyed together.


* for the way this one can fill a room (and a heart) with joy...what a gift.
* our huggable tornado and his zest for life.


* for dirty bath tubs and the little boys that fill them with dirt.
* for clean babies with silly hair dos.


* for a bond that runs deep.


* for the opportunity to spend  moments with them celebrating.
* for kind and gentle teachers that love my babies like their own.


* for the technology that keeps loved ones close even though they are far away.


* for cheese balls who love cheese balls.


* for fun ideas like the boo game.
* for silly moments spent super sleuthing around my neighbor's and friend's houses and hiding in shrubbery with my boys....making memories.


* for strong and healthy children that can run and jump...and do with joy.



* for the blessing to watch a childhood friend become a mommy... and the opportunity to spend time with her little girl...(and for matching cheerleading outfits.)


* for a neighborhood full of little people.
* for yards filled with laughter.


* for after school football games played in the chilly fall weather.


* for being surrounded with great friends, young and old.
* for His grace that never ends.
