thankful

Sorry I have been off line recently. I wanted to stop in and let you all know that yes we are still alive :) Family has been first and foremost on my mind recently and this blog has taken a back seat as a result. I promise it is just for a little while. I thought is was appropriate I pop in today and give you a little update because I am reminded on this day that I have so much to be thankful for this year ....

I have a husband who loves me and Will more then I could have ever imagined.

I have a baby boy who is healthy and growing and turning into a sweet almost 1 year old.

I have family who rally and support us when things are not always easy.

And most of all I am thankful to have a God who loves me and hears my prayers. He sits besides me and carries me through the tough days and for that I am the most thankful.

Well I am off to celebrate Will's first Thanksgiving. This little guy loves to eat so I am pretty sure this is going to be the best day of his life so far ;) I hope all of you dear blog readers have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and are able to relax {especially you cooks} and enjoy the day!

merry merry merry

Is it sad that this got me excited for Christmas....

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. Will and I spent the week with Nonnie and Granddad in Norfolk and then we made our way to Richmond to visit with Auntie Katrina. Glad I now have the weekend to recover!
