Well, this is Gratitude gala weekend! I am posting a little early because tomorrow after work I am heading north to a womens retreat for the weekend. I have so much to be thankful for, but it all starts here
With this man. I am so grateful that God gave me my sweetheart, this man who hates to have his picture taken (sorry babe!) is the best guy in the whole world! He brings me flowers for no reason, supports me in everything I do and loves me unconditionally! I can honestly say he changed my life with his love for me. He is a wonderful dad to these two....
And what can I say about my girls? They are the joy of my life! Two sisters who love each other to the moon and back:>) Who bring fun and laughter and happiness into our lives every day.
These are some of my favorite pictures of them, taken December of 2005, I came home from work, grabbed them and threw them outside and told them they were posing for our Christmas cards! The pictures capture their fun loving spirits and joy in life. I love my family so much!

I will draw a name on Monday and send it out in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. I think this whole month I will end my posts with more things I am grateful for. I have a long list and the month is probably not long enough to even begin to tell how blessed I am, but I'm going to try:>)
What a beautiful family! Barbara
ReplyDeleteI think that many of us as we move on in years, realize how very much we have to be thankful for. I say a prayer of thanks each and every day for my husband of 43 years. Met him in the back seat of a car heading to a high school football game when we were in our freshman year of high school.Who knew? My two daughters, both of whom I am so proud of. My one and only grand duaghter, a freshman in university this year. I have many more but these are the most important to me.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely family. Yes, we all have so very much to be thankful for. The love of God, health, family, friends..... That's just the tip of the iceberg.

ReplyDeleteKathy, your husband is adorable and sounds like mine! Your daughters are beautiful, but I suspect they take after you! I am grateful too, that I have had a chance to met you. Someday, maybe we can met in person. I would love to be entered in your generous drawing!
