Seeing as how it is almost Thanksgiving, I thought this would be a good time to write down a few of the things I am grateful for this month.
First of all, I am thankful for good health. After weeks of feeling yucky, I have been reminded of how nice it is to feel well! I am also very grateful for the sweet little things in my life - holding my kid's hands, hugs, smiles, thoughtful words, and laughter. I have been blessed so abundantly in my life, and I can only hope to be able to pass on some of that goodness to those around me. Lastly, I am thankful for holidays and how they make us take a break from our usual routine and spend time focused on those we love.
I hope all of our family and friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Number 6!

O.K., so I haven't posted much lately - but there is a good reason why! We are expecting another baby in May (that is number six for those who have lost count!). I haven't been feeling too well and fall asleep on the couch most afternoons, so I haven't had much time for anything but the necessities lately. This week I have started to feel a little better, though, so maybe I am through the worst of the nausea stage! Anyway, we are all very excited and can't wait to find out if this is a boy or a girl. People think we will be disappointed if this baby is another boy, but we would really be fine either way. We feel so blessed to have 5 healthy kids, and just hope and pray for one more healthy child. Bringing children into the world certainly is a miracle! Anyway, I need to go tuck some of my little ones into bed. Good night!
