So I had to veer away from the Thankful posts for a minute...sorry Mom. :)

In case I don't get back to them, yes, I am thankful for you and all you do for me. xoxoxo

BUT...I just had to share this...I got the Pottery Barn holiday catalog a few weeks ago and immediately tore this picture out and hung it on my fridge.

I was THAT in love with the picture.
Not sure why this is labeled 2009, but who cares.

This is my happy place on this UGLY Pacific Northwest Day.

Someday my front porch will look like this...fake snow and all :)

Enjoy!

Still Thankful

Yep, still thankful for this guy.

Poor thing, after 20 years of taking care of us, this

is usually where we find him in his

spare time.

One of the hardest working people I have

ever met.

Great Dad.

Great friend.

Love this guy.

November Thankfulness

I am seeing a trend in blogger world this month...

What are we thankful for?

Why don't I jump on the bandwagon and do my best

to see how many times this month I can post

about what I am thankful for?

Hey, not promising too much...I can't seem to stay

at my computer for very long these days

before someone/something pulls me away,

but I will give it my best shot!

I will start with something easy and obvious, I think!

Even though these three cause me to wonder on a daily (OK, hourly) basis if

I am sane or not, I cannot imagine my life without them. REALLY.

They make me laugh, cry, grumble, growl, smile and be proud.

Emphasis on that last part. REALLY.

They all have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are

becoming their own "selves" on a daily basis.

They don't "need" me as much as they used to for most things,

but I think I can say that deep down, they kinda like me.

I am trying to embrace this new phase of motherhood,

and trying not to be sad that they are inching out the door SO fast.

But, being their mother has been the BEST job a girl could ask for.

THEY ROCK.


Today, I am thankful for these guys:







Love you guys!
