Day 19: I inherited what we call “the doily gene”. It has made me very craftsy. I love arts and crafts. I am thankful that I also got some of my grandmas ability in that area as well. p.s. Those are ruffle scarves I knitted 🙂

My brother and his family are here, and I’m thankful my kids are getting a chance to get to know their cousins.

Day 17: I am once again thankful for technology, and it’s ability to soothe the savage beast toddler.

Day 16: I’m thankful my kids like to play together (most of the time)

Day 15: My youngest is 20 months old, and only says a few small words. But, I am thankful he said ‘Mama’ before he said ‘Dada’ (which he doesn’t actually say yet). None of our other kids said mama first, so at least I have one now who did :p

Day 14: I’m thankful to have wonderful friends and family who help us. Without them I wouldn’t have my new home addition or the patio we recently finished.
