Thanksgiving allows for a time to reflect on all the many blessings in our lives...
 
 and I am FILLED to the BRIM....
 Full with the love of my family...
 Full with love from my adoring husband...
 Blessed with a sweet boy that is PURE SUNSHINE, bright JOYful sunshine,
 Blessed with a big boy named Gabriel, my precious ANGEL baby,
 Blessed with a sensitive boy who wears his heart on his sleeve,
 Blessed with kids that love each other,
 Blessed that they love to PLAY with each other,
 Blessed that these rascals are so physically healthy,
 Blessed by a man who loves me at my awfullest and cheers me on with encouragement,
 Blessed that this man fills my days with SMILES,
 Blessed that this guy helps me SLOW down and cherish "moments",
 Blessed by this dude whose heart is focused on HEAVEN,
 Blessed by this man who shows me new and awesome parenting techniques and gives me a break when I am overwhelmed
 Blessed by sweet babies who always love and forgive me, even when I can be moody and awful,
 Blessed by the GORGEOUS place we live and the opportunities our family has,
 Blessed that God gave us kids to teach us to be LESS selfish and MORE patient,
 Blessed that each day is full of laughs, giggles, smiles, touch, and RICH LOVE,
and blessed to be here, in this time and moment.  Learning more all the time on how to be a better mom, a better wife, a more content person, a more calm easy going gal; all the while being soooo richly blessed by God.  Thankful, yes!   I am so thankful for the blessings in my life!

Absolutely gorgeous Karen! I love all of these pics! And all of the little "blessings" you've mentioned!

I especially loved the pic on FB with the rode showing in the background - my fave!
