Happy Thanksgiving 2009! Things I am Thankful For This Year...

From my little family to yours...

Wishing you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

I am so thankful for you taking the time to read about our projects.

Thank you for following us on our little journey here.

Your kind thoughts and comments are something I hold near and dear.

Reading your comments (and your blogs) has been so inspiring and up-lifting.

You have helped me feel less isolated as I spend my days parenting my sweet girls.

I feel like I actually know so many of you and consider you to be my bloggy friends!

I am also thankful for:

*BIG THINGS*

* family - -all of us under one roof to celebrate and feast together

(thank you in-laws for traveling great distances, siblings for driving with precious cargo,

and parents willing to host us!)

* a bountiful table of wonderful homemade food (thanks for cooking dad!)

* the gift of time to play with my girls and make fun art year round

* good health, two healthy and happy little girls

and a wonderful best friend of a cancer free husband (almost 14 years!)

* our warm home

* friends (old and new)

* AND LITTLE THINGS... *

* the ability to play flag football (in our turkey bowl) today with good friends and neighbors

* new sweat pants that aren't too short and don't make my butt look fat

* good books!

* peppermint coffee creamer

* digital photography and the ability to record the little things
and share our lives with family across the miles...

*making home movie DVDs on iDVD and being able to travel back in time

and see my girls when they were smaller!

* my reusable Starbucks to-go cup

(All artwork in today's post was made by my wonderful in-residence artist, the Frog Princess.)

What are you thankful for this year?
