I'm Thankful

                   

This season of Thanksgiving I am thankful for so much.  First of all the birth of my baby boy Kaleb.  I hold him as I write this (totally multitasking) and I look down on him in all his perfection and I am thankful for him and the opportunity to be his mother.  I am also thankful for about a million things.  One of the people on the video said they would e-mail a list.  Since this is my blog I thought I would just try to capture a few of the million things I am thankful for.  These are in no particular order - I am thankful for....my life, my health, my Savior, my family, my cute husband that looked so cute today as he headed off to a business trip that I was tempted to ask him to stay home, my family, my 3 year old that was good at the dentist, my walk today, Lexie's laugh, my smelly dog, my house, my sight, my washing machine, my laptop, my bed, my books, my kids hair on crazy hair day, my scentsy, my iphone, my pictures, my car, Taylor's help, Kaden for playing with his little brother when he was supposed to be doing jobs, my country, my parents, my sisters, text messages, blogging, crock pots, eggs and oatmeal, my book light, health, my ear plugs, my church, talk radio, baby lotion, my brothers, my brother on a mission, missionary work, strollers, hair clips, vacations, veterans, soldiers, basketball, cable news, mascara, friends, best friends, laughter, music, my kids playing the piano, my Dad's piano, the atonement, the dishwasher, baby bjorns, quiet, chaos, my ability to be a mother, my grandparents, my in-laws, miracles, prayer, baby feet, nursing, deodorant, chapstick, love, hugs, Tanner reading stories to Callen, cameras, bikes, epidurals, Fridays, Sundays, chocolate, pacifiers, Christmas time, movies, eternal families, love, etc.  I could probably spend the afternoon, evening and next day writing about what I am thankful for but I now need to put that beautiful baby I am thankful for down for a nap.  Then I will be VERY thankful if he stays asleep long enough for me to eat lunch.
