Family!

My amazing husband.  My sweet, crazy kids.  My sister and her husband and my niece.  My parents.  My cousin and his family.

I am so blessed to have almost all of my family nearby.  Tonight when my sister picked Onee up, I invited her back for dinner and she was able to come and enjoy lasagna with us.  I love having her just a few blocks, 8 to be exact, away.

I was able to stop by parents on the way home from Olivia’s dental appointment and visit my dad and my mom stopped by yesterday afternoon just to say hello and see the kids.  I love that we are able to just stop in and say hello!  I remember how close I was to my maternal grandparents and I am so glad that my kids have that chance, too.

I missed yesterday due to a conference call and then heading to bed for a very early morning today.

I’m very thankful for friends.  I personally don’t have many at all any, but I’m so thankful that my children all have one or two good friends.  I love when they come over in the afternoons and I can hear them giggling and making up games or when I hear Olivia talking on Skype to her friend in Pennsylvania as though she were right there in her room hanging out with her.

Friendship is so important.  I’m glad that I am married to my best friend.

I’m going to try to post one thing I’m grateful for everyday this month.  It goes along with my asking the kids for one thing they’re thankful for before bed.  (Today’s answer was 2/3 candy.)

I am thankful for clean water to drink, cook, bathe, and clean with.  As I start the month with no soda, I was very grateful for clean, cool water every time I had a glass today.  Not to mention the 4 loads of laundry I was able to wash today.
