Our shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story.

Happy Thanks Giving

Okay so I will admit I have not posted as much here these days!  I am tired and I am blessed to parent three miracles so blogging just has not been a priority.  Plus I like to have pictures and rarely is the good camera near by when I want to take a photo!  However here are a few from the last few weeks!

A father and his boys!  Jeral has been so amazing as a dad and a husband, I love him just as he is, yet doing the dishes, and the laundry, and playing with the kids sure sends the love charts soar up to number 1 on a regular basis!

A few weeks back my dear friend Marie came for a visit and this was our boys chilling and relaxing after we had fed them.  While we were feeding she pointed out that we were nursing our boys together, yet something I thought we would never do.  Thanks Jesus for the small reminders that miracle do happen in our every day life!

Kenzie and Joelle watching a cartoon on the couch.  I love that we have girls and boys that can grow up playing together when we manage to make it out to Abbotsford or they manage to make it out here! I wish I still came every other week so our kids could get to know each other better!

Sleeping boy!

And this boy yet again fell asleep in a strange position.  I really need to put a photo book of his strange and uncomfortable sleep positions together!

So today is Thanks Giving Sunday!  While I was sitting in church and had a rare moment when I did not have a baby in my arms or a toddler climbing all over me I took some time to write out the things I am thankful for!

1. My Husband - he is a great day and the best life partner I could have eve been blessed with!

2. My three miracles - and yes this includes the long night and the fighting that goes on because there was a day we were unsure if our home would ever be filled with these miracles!  I love you and and thankful every day for you Kenzie, Jaris, and Hayden

3. My extended family and friends

4. The home we have been blessed with

5. The reality that we have everything we could ever need and many of the things we want.

6. My church family - this one is huge for me to say because not long away we chose to leave and yet I am so thankful that God made it clear that our church is where we belong!

7. I am thankful for a lady who ended up coming into my life as a result of someone else deeply hurting me.  And with that if I were now to bump into the woman who really broke my heart I would look her in the eyes and say, "Thank You!"  To come to this place and know that I truly could look her in the eyes and say thank you is huge, and for that I am grateful to God.

Well with that I will end today's Post!  I am looking forward to my family heading to my mom's tomorrow for dinner with my mom, sister and her kids.  Truthfully I really just want the pear pie!  My mom makes the best pear pie ever!!!!!!

Happy Thanks Giving!
