Gratitude Month



With Thanksgiving upon us this month - I am trying to give THANKS for all that I have.  Obviously my family is what I am most grateful for.  And this little guy is topping the list!  But, I am also giving thanks for my improvement behind the lens.  I love having something that I am so passionate about.  Photography has given me such joy the past few years.  My camera (Nikon D90) has honestly been my absolute favorite toy I have ever owned.  I have used it everyday for over 3 years now.  It makes me so happy to be able to take such great keepsake shots of our family.  


I am also thankful for our great health, beautiful fall foliage, my daughter's love for learning, my husbands devotion to our family, my son's sense of humor, and for being able to stay home with our children.  To me, that is the ultimate blessing in my life.  I have never felt more fulfilled.


All four of us are very Thankful for the healthy baby boy that will be joining our family in less than four months. I find myself daydreaming about him all the time. What he will look like, what we will name him, and how he will make a great addition to our family.  This is a very exciting time for all of us.


Happy November!  Looking forward to spending this month with our family and friends,  The people that mean most to us.  The people that make a difference.  The ones that make us laugh.....


So much to be thankful for - and I am finding the time to reflect on all of it.  We are making Thanksgiving crafts at our house that showcase collages of what we are most grateful for.  And family seems to be on the top of everyone's list!


Happy Thanksgiving!  Happiness is so contagious.  That's what I love most about our children.  Their ability to make us happy in almost every moment of life.

Thanksgiving turned into Thanksliving! Beautifully written. That is what it is actually about. Being the bread, being willfully broken and then offered up to others! As a mother and wife you do this daily! Thankful to know you, Emily!
