Tis the Season

Tis the season to be Happy.  Happy with life, and ready to celebrate Jesus.  On Facebook everyone is posting things that they are grateful for.  I like this because it reminds me of things that I am grateful for.  I try to tell others I am grateful for them in my life but sometimes time goes by and I fail.  SO this holiday before the business of the Christmas season I am going to write down why I am thankful for people in my live. Starting with my hubby and my kids.
Travis - I am grateful for you because you work hard for us...and love me for how I am.
Madie - you love other so much
Ethan - you are so passionate about everything you do
Mom - You are my rock when I need support
Dad - You love me just as I am

Wondering

I was wondering the other day, how come when I was little life seemed so slow and now that I am a grown up it is so fast.  My kids were just thoughts in my head it seems like just yesterday. I planned for them watched my tummy grow and now they talk and walk and do things for themselves.  They talk back, they don't always obey, and yet they are little verison of me walking around.  I love it when my sweet blessings come up to me and just hug me.  I am blessed with love caring, giving children that show respect.  I love how they look out for each other and love each other all while yelling you meany at each other.  They would do anything for each other including tell on each other.  But to hear them play and share and love each other is so sweet.  I hope that their relationship grows to become a friendship that they will be able to count on long after I am gone.  Let nothing come between them  and help them to remember that they are family and family is what makes life so much sweeter.
