"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever." --- 1 Chronicles 16:34

I'm still at my mom's, so I'll upload pics from today, once we get home. Anyway, here is a list of some of the things I'm thankful for this year (in no particular order):
  • Jadon, Jadon, and more Jadon :-)
  • The fact that Jadon hasn't gotten the flu from any of us
  • my marriage to Jamie
  • Jamie's job and financial provision from it
  • money to buy small luxuries, like Starbucks and sushi, every now and then
  • my sister's upcoming internship in NYC
  • friends (Michelle, Jessica, Tiffany, Tara, Janine, Colette, Sheila, Kylie, Kate...so many others...)
  • Jessica finally selling her house!
  • my in-laws!!! Love you, Momma Dorie and Papa Dom
  • my step-son, Justin...Jadon loves and misses you!
  • my family in WV who drove to see us in Morgantown (Aunt Carla, Aunt Suzy, Uncle Chris, Brandy & Charli...love and miss you!)
  • that we've had a beautiful condo to call home, since February
  • the fact that we might be buying a house in two months...yay!
  • the health of our family
  • two cars that run and haven't needed any repairs this year...woo hoo!!!
  • the sunny weather in South Carolina
  • the fact that I've been able to stay home with Jadon for six months so far
  • Jadon's two front teeth :-)
  • maintaining relationships with kids we've worked with through emails and phone calls
  • my mommy :-) You're the best, Mom!
  • Wally finally getting to be a Grandpa...and he loves it
  • Jadon's Ya Ya, Sandy :-)
  • My sister's friend Kayce
  • My uncle Steve in California getting to visit us this summer...miss you so much!
  • having pictures of my dad with Jadon...priceless :-)

I'm just so thankful for so many things! I love my life...not because I have anything special, but because I recognize the beauty in everything God blesses me with each day...all of the financial provisions, blessings of physical health, spiritual wisdom from His word, guidance from his Spirit, and love from those He uses each day to show me how much he cares about me and my family :-)

Jadon taking his morning cat nap @ Gramma's Gramma cooking turkey and all the fixins in her night gown ;-) Auntie Em doesn't cook or clean, but she sure loves to sleep

Poor Jamie had to work today, but he was home by 2pm :-)

Grandpa Wally enjoying his grub in front of the TV ;-)

Ziggy hoping someone will drop some scraps on the floor
