A time to be thankful.

This year I feel I am more thankful than ever before.  After coming out of a miserable marriage and horrible divorce, I am able to now look at everything that I have and I am so thankful.

My Lilly - The highlight of my day, the smile on my face.  I can't be more thankful for anything in my life than this little three year old sweetheart.  She keeps me grounded and humble, and she allows me to see the good in everything.

My family - The best family ever, I might add.  From my parents to my cousins, I am so thankful for the love and support they have shown me.  I am a little biased, but my family is the most loving, down-to-earth, fun, and lively bunch of people and I am blessed to be a part of it.

My friends - Thank you for always being there for me in good times and in bad.  Thank you for lifting me up, answering the phone in the middle of the night, and thank you for keeping me in your prayers and thoughts always.

My job - I adore my job, I adore my kiddos and co-workers!  It is completely impossible to not see how great our God is when I look in the faces of 17 precious kids every day.  They are happy and so full of light and I am so thankful that I have this opportunity.

My relationship with God - In the recent year I have become so much closer to God and really found my faith.  Although I certainly believe in karma, I also know that God has me and Lilly in the palm of his hands and he is leading us in the right direction.

Here are some more family pics!  There's sooooo many adorable ones but here's some of my favorites.  

Lilly Grace and I are wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
