In a mere couple of days our Jelly Belly gang will make our annual trek to the beach.
The beach filled with family, friends and food.
Nights end with counting the number of 'sleeps' until we can celebrate "thanksgiving." Both of the kids don't quite grasp the whole 'thankfulness' piece, but Ms. JB is really beginning to understand that we have so much as a family and as individuals to be thankful for. It melts my heart. Buddy JB likes me to tell all the events that are going to take place once we get to Grandma's and LoLo's house and we always end our story with the fact that once all this celebrating is over....we get to set up Grandma and LoLo's Christmas tree! We have been enjoying the bounties of fall with leaf collecting, fall painting and scrumptious Turkey cookies.
I am truly thankful....
I am thankful for my family
...my faith in God.
...our healthy children.
...my loving husband.
...my job.
...our friends.
...freedoms bestowed upon me as an American.
...my health as it stands.
...and all the other blessings that come with each day.
May every person who stumbles upon this blog find something greater than oneself to be thankful for.
I cannot tell you how much I miss you all. I hope we can get together this weekend? Even for 10 mins?!! Talk about Christmas shopping, have a glass of vino! Beautiful photos of the kiddos..big hugs. I am THANKFUL to have all of you in my life. Love you.
