100th post

I think it's fitting that my 100th post should fall during Thanksgiving week. I didn't think I could manage a list of the 100 things I'm most grateful for, but I decided a list of 20 things was definitely do-able.

Top Twenty Thankful Fors (in no particular order)

I am thankful for:

1. Twice the baby snuggles
2. A husband who always notices my moods, even if I'd rather stay mad a while longer
3. Fabulous giggles from my eight-year-old
4. T telling me he loves me, followed by a sloppy kiss and fierce hug
5. Being able to lose the baby weight quickly (and rather inexplicably)
6. Four sisters who advise me, love me, laugh with me, and cry with me
7. My parents, who loved their kids enough to be strict with them
8. In-laws who love me almost as much as my parents do
9. Two boys who live most of their lives in the superhero world
10. Full belly laughs from not just one, but two sweet babies
11. A job that lets me be home with my kids
12. Sunday dinners with family and friends
13. The simple pleasures of a donut and hot chocolate
14. Two babies who sleep through the night
15. Counsel from a living prophet
16. The great neighborhood we live in
17. Kids who have imaginations as big as their parents
18. Quiet time with a good book
19. The chance to celebrate the birth of our Savior
20. My blog. I'm grateful for the journal keeping it's provided, since I haven't been good at writing in my journal for at least a decade.

My cup runneth over. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I love all the things you are thankful for. love ya. I agree that our kids are growing up way too fast. Is there some how we can slow that down.
