Gratitude: Day 13

Him.

That sweet, wonderful, loving man. I am grateful for him. He has given me a family and a home, and it all started 6 years ago today.

Today I am grateful for him. Happy Anniversary babe.

Board Games.

I love being able to pick out a game and let him go. It gives me a few minutes peace and entertains him at the same time. I really needed this today.

Gratitude: Day 11

The Men and Woman who are serving and have served our country.

I am so grateful for your bravery, honor, and sacrifice. I am so grateful for your strength, determination, and fearless heart. I am humbled by your fortitude to march into danger for those of us who are miles away. I am so grateful that you have chosen to serve, so that I can rest easily in the safety of my home.

(John Carl D'Annibale / Times Union)

Today, I am so grateful for you. Thank you.

Gratitude: Day 9

Scrappy Time.

I am finally getting some time to do some creative time. I will try to get some pictures up of my December Daily that I have been working on... hopefully tomorrow.

Gratitude: Day 8

Monday Night Football.

Yep. That's right Ladies, I said Monday Night Football. You see, I am married to a sport fanatic! He loves all things sports... which I typically hate. But, on Monday's we have these little football books that we purchase every year from the local Sertoma Club. It is for their annual fundraiser, and all the money goes towards helping those with hearing loss, which is right up my ally. (I am an SLP by profession)

But, besides being charitable, these little books bring on something else. I get to participate in sports with my hubby. We check our numbers every week and during the entire game, we try to figure out what needs to happen to get "our" numbers that week. If we win, we get 50 bucks! Pretty Cool hu?

But the best part is that we are sharing something he loves together, and he actually talks to me when the game is on!

So today, I am grateful for Monday Night Football!

Gratitude: Day 7

Sunday.

Sunday in this house means that Daddy is home... all day long. He works on Saturday, so Sunday is the first day of "our" weekend. Since he works so much, (he is in the restaurant business so it's usually about 65+ hours a week) it is extra nice to have him home.

Right now it means... an extra set of hand to help, Daddy and Matteo bedtime stories, family dinner, weekly shopping trip, sleeping in a bit, less diapers for Mama to change, a shower for Mama, help feeding babies, and falling asleep next to him...

And Matteo gets to nap with him too! Along side of Bella :)

I am very grateful for Sunday.

Gratitude: Day 6

Bedtime.

Today was a rough day in this house. It is bedtime for the littles. For that I am grateful.
