Gratitude

I'm grateful for the beautiful snow, for the safety we have been blessed with while we drive on it, that my kids are mostly healthy, for my husband's job and his nice boss that lets him take days off to play with his family, for my family, for their loving support and great examples, and I'm really grateful for nap times. Which is happening right now, can you believe I'm writing instead of in bed??? That will change here shortly. Melissa got her second letter of acceptance from a different college, both offered her academic scholarships, way to go Missy!!! :) Makayla is counting down the days and weeks until her wedding, Ashlea is helping me with my scrapbook since she gets the fun ideas, not me, and Tricia is hoping someone brings her what she wants for Christmas, since Santa does not come here. Janae is too afraid of him. We're doing a Christmas fairy for her instead. :> Joshua is crawling all over the place and loves to stand and walk while he holds our fingers. I'm grateful for these wonderful blessings we call children, and I'm also grateful the younger ones are sleeping, which is where I hope to be soon. Happy winter, everyone! :)
