Other than the usual that I am grateful for living in America, with a roof over my head, enough food on the table, and the continued health of myself/DH/DS and our family and friends, I am thankful for:
- DH and his never-ending patience and love
- DS and all that he teaches me every day (good things and bad :) )
- DS's birthfamily, for their decision, their love for DS, and support of our family
- my friends for keeping me grounded and patient
- the opportunity to choose to be a SAHM
- the resources to bring another child into our family

Without a doubt #1 on my list I am thank ful for my wonderful family-especially my husband whoselove and support I could not live without. He constantly amazes me with his generosity and patience. He is one of the greatest people to ever enter my life.

I am thankful for the other 2 great people who have recently entered my life-Anna and Jack. Jack whose brilliance brightens my every day and Anna whose sweet disposition and smile light up a room even on a dark day.

I am thankful for my friend KS who is on the path to becoming a great great friend.

I am thankful for having found a wonderful career that I love and for having the courage to strike out on my own.

I am so thankful to have the mommies on the BBB who offer me such wonderful support and encouragement, inspiration and positive examples. I am constantly awed by the knowledge that I learn from my fellow mommies.

I am so thankful to have my wonderful sister who adores my children and showers them with love.

I am so thankful to have known my MIL even for the short 6 years that I knew her. I am thankful that she was such a wonderful mother and taught my husband how to love and be the amazing man that he is.

ETA-I am thankful for being at the top of the winners list of the football pool at my DH's work because if I win I will be able to buy the new Oi Oi bag I want and have some $ left over....
