Do you take time to count your blessings? It's hard - especially when you're facing problems - with relationships, money, etc.

What are 3 of the blessings in your life right now?

Mine:

1. Caden - at 2 he is so fun and such a blessing in our lives. I am so glad that we didn't give up on having children. I can't imagine my life without him.

2. Wyatt - he's 4.5 months old and taking everything in. He has such unconditional love and awe for all of us - his mommy, daddy and big brother. I'm especially grateful for being able to watch another baby grow and learn about the world. And like Caden I can't imagine my life without him.

3. My husband. We have our issues - but he's a wonderful husband and father. He helps out with the kids and house work (usually) w/out complaining. He works at a job that his heart isn't 100% into anymore to make sure that we're provided for.

4. My home. We are finally in a home that we love. Our kids have space to play. We have room for family to visit. And it feels right for us - I see us being here a long time.

Ok - so I did 4.

1. I am thankful for my children. I have a little boy who is 20 months old and a little girl who is almost 4 months old. I can't imagine life without them. They let me see life with a whole new meaning.

2. I am so grateful to be able to be a sahm. I went to college to be an engineer, and I worked for about 4 years. When I was 7 months pregnant with my first, I decided that I wasn't going to be able to work and leave my babiy at home. It was a big change, because me quitting meant cutting our income in half. In fact, I made a little more than my hubby, so it was more than half... but God has worked our budget and we have comfortably been able to have me at home for 2 years now.

3. I am so thankful for my marriage. My husband is so good to me and he is always chipper to go to work and provide for us. He never complains or tells me I need to go back to work, he just tells me that he appreciates me keeping the house and raising the kids (even though my mom would watch them for free for me to work).

4. I am also thankful that I am close to my parents and my sister and her husband. We always get together at least once or twice a week, and my sis lives two houses down from me. She's trying to get pregnant now, so I am sure that we'll have something else to be thankful about soon.
