30 Days of Thankful - Day 5

Today, I am thankful for a slow Saturday with no commitments.  My weekends are full between running a photography business, selling real estate and our social calendar. Yesterday, I had no appointments to run off to or things pressing that I had to handle. So I started my day watching cartoons snuggled on the couch with Declan. Perfect.

Friday Dump

Welcome to my Friday iphone dump, 2nd edition. I couldn't include about 10 adorbs pics of my potty training son in his undies and/or sitting on the pot because my husband reminded me there are creepers out there. Darn. I'll just have to save them for his high school graduation video.

 a stroller full of faves:

 Decs trick or treating our street. Big boy!

 Mark's creation. He was proud.

 We held true to our dogless couch oath for, um, 2 months:

 Sophie Mae and those big brown eyes.

 Typical in our house. Little man obsessed with "doing dishes":

 love.

 splish, splash

30 Days of Thankful - Day 4

Today I am thankful for laughter. After being trapped inside due to croup and deciding it was the perf time potty train, I am thankful that I can laugh hysterically to the point of crying and feel restored. The happy tears were due to this little gem. Watch and enjoy and then watch again.

30 Days of Thankful - Day 3

Today, I am thankful for community. My life group gals and I came together tonight for some coffee and discussion over the book Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow. It was refreshing and real and needed.

"Most of us base our contentment on our circumstances, on our feelings, or on other people.  However, true contentment is separate from our circumstances.  Contentment is a state of the heart, not a state of affairs." (Calm My Anxious Heart)

"God...is the blessed controller of all things, the king over all kings and the master of all masters." 

(1 Timothy 6:15 PH)

30 Days of Thankful - Day 2

Today I'm thankful for SNOW. Yes, don't hold me to this in January with 2 feet of snow on the ground but today big, beautiful flakes fell for the first time this year.

This little guy was not happy that I wouldn't let him go play in it. We had a scary night last night dealing with an un-welcomed guest named croup. Bleh. Decs seems to be doing okay today.

Halloween

Hands down my favorite picture of the week!

 

30 Days of Thankful - Day 1

It's so important to remember what we are thankful for and I'm going to take the next 30 days to celebrate my blessings - big or small.

Day 1:


Today I am thankful for being the mother to only 1 child. Yes, I know, I'm desperately wanting another child but then I get smacked in the face and reminded how sweet these moments are with my 3 year old side kick. We have so much 1 on 1 time where we play, sing songs, cuddle, test wills, laugh and run errands easily since it's just us. I'm thankful for this season of Declan being our one and only.
