Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing weekend spent with family and friends!

I thought I'd do a list of some of the things I am thankful for....(this is not all inclusive!!)

- the time I have spent on maternity leave...it has allowed me to bond with Greyden and watch him grow and explore his world. He has gone from a wiggly little lump of giggles to a stretching, walking (close!!) determined little guy. He has such a strong personality, making those around him both laugh and cry! It has also given me a better peak into Caleb's world. So much has changed for him since I left work in February. He's now a big brother, we've moved, he's started school, he's formed and lost bonds with friends and family. He is growing into such a sparkling little kid. Every where we go his personality shines, and his contagious smile and big blue eyes catches people's hearts.

- my husband, who no matter how hard a day its been, always kicks me out the door every Friday night for knit night. Who makes me coffee every morning. Who can drive me totally crazy, but also keeps me sane!

- the fall, the weather the cooling off of the earth as we prepare for winter. I love the colours, the smells and the flavours of fall. Going to the farmer's market and picking out squash and apples. Rotating Caleb's pumpkin in his garden getting ready for Halloween. The crisp mornings, and the sun as it burns off the frost.

- the roof over my head. Living in your mil's basement may not be everyone's cup of tea but it has allowed us alot of freedoms the past few months. It has given us some physical and emotional security in very uncertain times.

- the repitition of a good knitting pattern. The knit and the purl, the in and the out. The odd twist, and wrap of yarn overs and cables, and the eventual satisfaction of a finished object.

There are probably a hundred or more things that I should be listing, but if I keep going I'm not spending time with those things listed above. So I'll finish with this....What are you thankful for? Are you thankful for the small, seemingly mundane moments and things in your life as well as the big? Are you taking the time to notice these things? The incredible orange leaf, laying on the blacktop driveway, when you hop into your car? Those little God moments that He puts in our everyday path, to make everyday matter, not just the big days. For those I am truly thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving!
