30 Days of Thanks-Day 2

I am thankful that Grace loves watching football and getting ready for Ohio State games on Saturdays.
Shes been  buckeye since she was born...each year she learns a new football hand signal.

First was touchdown, then false start and this year she is doing "no good".
What a little fan she is turning into!

What favorite snack are you thankful for?

 I am a huge fan of caramel corn. 

Not the bagged hard stuff, but freshly made popcorn with melted caramel on top.

I have been eating that stuff since I was a teenager, and probably went thru 2 or 3 bags a week back then.

Now that I am older {cough cough....now that my metabolism resembles that of a snail} I only splurge once a month or so.

But it takes me back to a time when I had no worries, when I lived at home with my Grandparents 

and everything in life was slower. 

I didn't have a schedule to keep to or a bank account I needed to worry about.

But now that I do have those things, and I wouldn't change it for the world, 

I still like to enjoy that melty gooey snack from time to time.

{and you better believe that I stock up when its on sale...got that bank account to worry about now!}

What cozy place in your home are you thankful for?

When we first bought our house, we made one of the extra rooms a guest/hubby's closet room
and the other a guest/computer room.
When we found out we were having a baby, the hubby's closet had to get moved and made into the nursery.
It was amazing to get it all done and see it transform from a dark room
that we hardly ever spent time in to a light airy room full of hopes and dreams.
We spent more time in that room during my pregnancy than we had the previous 4 years that we lived there.
You could often find us, meaning all of us....dogs included....sitting in there practicing my breathing for labor
or talking about what we wanted to hang on the walls.
It was a nice place to end the day and just enjoy being together.

It has easily turned into my favorite room in the house.
It is warm, cozy and comforting.
I hope Grace loves it as much as I do!

What animal are you thankful for?

 

 I am thankful for our little first "baby"...Emma. She turned 8 years old this summer. 

We have had her since she was 7 weeks old. 

She is the sweetest and most loving dog I have ever met. 

Really she has such a big heart and understands so much of what we do and say, its amazing sometimes. 

She has had a rough year, first with the new edition of Ellie, our black lab we adopted last fall. 

And then with the birth of Grace, her world was spinning for a bit. 

She has been so good and patient and is finally starting to give Grace some attention instead of just ignoring her. 

She used to sit beside me when I was nursing, and now she now will come up 

and sniff her head and give her a little lick on the arm. 

She is so loving. I am so proud of her for accepting our growing family so well.

It's November already! 

While the month ends with Thanksgiving, the whole month has become a time to reflect on things you are thankful. 

I've seen people posting on Facebook and Twitter about things they are thankful for, and today I came upon this link up. 

I thought it was a wonderful way to take a few minutes and give thanks for all the amazing things that I have in my life.

Thanks Jaime for posting about this and Lindsay for hosting it...don't mind if I tag along! 

I'm playing catch-up now, but hope to be able to get on track with posting something everyday. 

They might not all have photos but the words will be there!

What person are you thankful for?

I am most thankful for my happy healthy baby girl. 

I waited a long time to start a family, I wanted to have all my ducks in a row as they say. 

While I'm sure it would have been less tiring when I was younger, 

I wouldn't change a thing about when our little girl came into our lives.

Now is the prefect time to be her mommy. 

I look at her in amazement of how perfect she is. 

10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes that curl up when she is sleepy. 

2 beautiful blue eyes that look at me like I hold the moon. 

A smile that would melt your heart and bring tears to your eyes.

I thank God everyday for blessing me with this precious gift.

I am thankful for my Grace.
