My blessings from my blessings . . .

Some stressful things have hit here recently but the Bible says "In everything give thanks for this is the will of Christ Jesus concerning you." Yet another item on my to work on list. (I didn't look that verse up so it may not be word for word accurate :)
I have MUCH to be thankful for.

"You're a nice Mommy."--Annalina today. I asked why she said that and she replied she "just thought it."

Ross often tells me that he loves me and that I am "the Best Mommy ever". I KNOW I don't deserve that but I'd love to keep this super hero status with my kids forever.

Then there is Gabriel with his hugs. Just happy sweet hugs that are so numerous.

Carson with his sweet soft cheeks and his head on my shoulder and arms around my shoulders. He loves to be with his Mommy.

Last night, my hubby reached over and gently put his hand on my arm and said "you're a good wife."

I am thankful for my Kiddos and their Daddy. Thank you Father for a family with love for you and each other. I can't imagine it any other way.

My friend K called today with FABULOUS news of answer to prayers!

Memory of the Day: My memory comes two fold. Annalina and Carson came up this morning and were upstairs awhile and there was no Gabriel and Ross. I went to check on them. I asked them what they were doing. "We're relaxing . . . wrestling and reading Elk magazines." Eventually, the fun downstairs they were having was discovered and the kids lined the boys beds with bean bags and a huge stuffed animal bear and had wrestling wars. The boys took their shirts off to look tough and one or two of them happily came to show me their war wounds. They had a blast. They called Carson "the rocket" he would get on a chair and come shooting off at someone. They loved his tactic!

Oh, just thought about another thing. It started to snow today and the kids were all excited and yelling that it was snowing. Carson stood at the window and said to Gabriel "bad night". A few weeks ago he was saying "snow white, bad night". Too funny. I know he doesn't like playing in snow but he does enjoy seeing it.
