So Thankful...

Thanksgiving...

A holiday to remind us of all things we have to be thankful .

I have truly made an effort to say my thanks to God on a daily basis.  Of course, I don't list every single thing.  But, I really try and tell Him several things I am thankful for every day.

We have something to talk about each and every day.

There are definitely days that I can conjure up a pity party in my head....I know, pretty pitiful.  When things calm down and I can see things in perspective....

life is ALWAYS good!

I always hoped and dreamed for a wonderful family...

dreams DO come true!

Now I have those hopes and dreams for my girls...




A few things for which I am thankful...







 this little beauty

sisters

daughters

beautiful eyes

wonderful father/husband

sweet friends

mischief (most of the time)

curiosity

innocence

loving hearts

miracles

heroes

my hero

A Special Day

Have you ever been proud?

I mean the kind of proud that makes your heart swell...

Well..........

This did it for me.


May I present to you --




This portfolio will hang in the DAVIS-BAKER preschool as long as it stands.

That's pretty cool.

A building.....a BUILDING named after my MOM.

My Mom.......for the 30+ years she was impacting the lives of the many students she taught, was all the while doing ALL the things I do for my kiddos daily (and much MUCH more).

Any time I think of it....it never ceases to amaze me.

I really cannot comprehend how one "does it all"....

but she did.......

and does.

I'm very thankful and privileged to have such a tremendous role model.  

Thanks, MOM!!

And, Congratulations!!  So glad we were able to be there for your SPECIAL DAY!!  :)
