Thankful Thursday...

I think I may have done this once or twice on my old blog but I have never participated here. Anyway, I need to count my blessings today so here I go....

I am thankful for:

*my GOD & his grace that is new every morning (I have really needed it lately)

*a husband who holds me when I cry

*little girls who hold hands and make each other (and me!) laugh

*endless rounds of "ring-around-the-rosey" (ashlin, ashlin, we all fall down (Claire's version after cousin Ashlin, I think?!)

*little girl tea parties when the oldest sister lets the little sister be the princess for the day(how sweet)

*a little boy who gives me wide open mouth kisses first thing every morning

*sisters who do not want to sleep apart

*little boy trucks, tractors & cars that I step on constantly because Drew is all.over.the.place. now!! :)

*crumbs on the floor from my kids snacks (homemade muffins) and the hugs I get for said muffins!!

*sweet & encouraging emails from friends (old & new)

*my hubby's precious smile & his beautiful voice

*a garden that is producing fresh veggies

*homemade cleaning recipes

*the internet (saves me SO much money & what great friends I have made!)

*a mother who is always there when I need her and even when I don't (or I think I don't, haha)

*a daddy who loves me unconditionally

*a sister who calls me and lets me cry on the phone

*two sisters who love me very much and support me being a stay at home homeschooling mom
