This year we spent our the holiday with John's Aunt Judy's family in Wisconsin. It was great to see everyone - as we get older and our own familes grow we see less of each other. It was fun to see all the cousins and see now the littelest cousins starting their own memories. Here are a few pics from that day. Enjoy!
I am normally a very positve person the type that makes you sick sometimes as I look for the good in everyone and every situatation. For many selfish reasons this year I was having a tough time trying to find all "those positive things" amongst the stress of normal life. This is a thank you to my wonderful , wise and kind husband for reminding me. Here are just a few things that I will hold onto when I'm having a hard time getting through the week and I'm sure many of you share these same wonderful reminders.
I am thankful for the home that we live in - the warmth and protection that it provides. I am thankful for family and friends that no matter the time or the distance will always be there to lend an ear or my favorite, a hug. I am thankful for the job I have and the distraction it gives me as I miss my little girl all day long. I am thankful for the simple smile and hug Violet gives me every morning as I prepare for a new day. I am most thankful for my loving husband that encourages me to do and be all that he knows I am capable of.

Tona,
I completely understand. I'm having similar struggles reminding myself what is truly worth being thankful for and not being selfish about other things. This didn't really sound the way I wanted it to, but my point is - I get it!
