Thankful Thursday

This Thursday I am thankful for the rare time when my hubby actually has a day off of work (let alone two) and we get to spend it together.

Thankful for good friends too, including Addison's Godfather and his family who we FINALLY had a chance to get together with. They are the sweetest people, and it was great catch up.

They also spoiled A&B with not just birthday presents but Christmas gifts..... AND they even got them cute little cupcakes so they could sing Happy Birthday to them since they will miss their party. (How thoughtful is that? So so sweet.) They are so thoughtful and it was nice to share that moment with them.

(Sorry J, I let Jake take the picture and of course he pretty much cuts you out. But atleast he got the cupcakes and the kiddos right? Smh.)

Thank you both for everything. <3

Thankful Thursday...

Today I am thankful that we found a church that seems like a good fit for our family. We went to our very first church service since moving and we met a lot of amazing people just like us. There was a great mix of elders and younger couples, as well as families with children. I am excited to make it back again this weekend and incorporate church back in to a regular part of our lives.

I have great memories of church on Sundays as a child and the things I learned. I still remember my first Sunday School Teacher Miss Nancy and how she taught us "Away in a Manger" and I want that experience for our children. Something just warms my heart when I think about attending church and coming home to a nice family meal. It's just a small part of my idea of the American Dream.

Thankful Thursday...

Today I am thankful for Jake's work schedule this week. It happens few and far between but I am enjoying not having the alarm clock buzzing in my ear at the crack of dawn and having him around at least for breakfast. The irony is that he still gets home typically around the same time each evening/night BUT it still gives us more family time. And it's given me a some time to get some much needed things caught up around the house too which is always nice.

He does a lot for us, his little family. And I am always thankful for that. We make a heck of a team together, I'd be lost without him. He's hard work lets me do what I do.

Thankful Thursday...

I am thankful for the little girl sitting next to me eating her waffles and drinking her "milk" from her sippy cup. Thankful for the little boy who says "I wub you Momma" and says "No touch sissy. Back up" and moves his sister from harms way.

And thankful for one more day...

Thankful Thursday...

I am thankful for all the moments.

Big news BLAKE WAS OFFICALLY DISCHARGED FROM EARLY INTERVENTION!!!!
That's huge huge HUGE. I am hopeful Addison won't be far behind.

Here's a peak at what we've been up to:

Blake Dancing out front of our house. Silly Boy.

Ball, Truck, Boy

Don't be fooled. She is the boss.

Cheering for Daddy to throw the ball. Jake loves when she does this.
