Thankful

In no particular order, here are some of the things I am thankful for.

1. my husband - he's patient, overlooks many faults of mine, and is very helpful. And he's an awesome Daddy.
2. Chris stepped on a nail in the laundry room early this morning, thus not throwing off our entire Thanksgiving Day! (After trying to pull it out with tweasers - we didn't know it was a 1/2 in. nail at this point! - I talked him into going to the Convenient Care Center.)
3. God's Word - especially my new ESV Study Bible.
   
4. April and Scott are here for the long weekend! April is already doing crafts with Luke and Simon is loving the extra attention!
5. I am done cooking for at least 2 days! :)
6. Peppermint ice cream
7. yarning (Lukeage for "crocheting")
8. not having to buy a new car battery
9. Roadside Assistance with our car insurance policy (a story for another post)
10. My mom and all that she taught me about being a homemaker, a wife and a mom.
11. my delicious boys. Somehow, no one makes cuter little boys than Chris and me, not to conjur up any mental pictures. :)
12. I get along with my in-laws and even love them a lot! They truly are my family.
13. God is providing for each of our needs.
14. mint and chocolate. together. :)
15. my friends - God's given me some jewels
16. pumpkin pie and leftovers!
17. being a stay-at-home mom. I'm growing more and more into this role by the minute. I now cry at the end of every Little House on the Prairie, regardless of how corny it is!
18. the way Luke pulls my ear close to his so he can whisper to me
19. watching Simon WALK!
20. a church family that I really appreciate and love
