Everyday Moments: So very thankful!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this past week, celebrating all the many different ways God has blessed us with His faithful kindness. Some top blessings of my life:

- my salvation in Christ
- my amazing husband who never ceases to amaze me. I'm so thankful for his love, his witty humor, his steadfast endurance when life isn't always rosy, and his commitment to Christ and me & Jas. Love him.
- my darling son who wraps my heart around his little finger more and more each day.
- my (and Andrew's) family, family, family, family. I don't know where I'd be without my parents, siblings, and grandparents. Andrew and I so often talk about how we would be lost without the love and support (and humor) of our family.

Some other things I'm thankful for:
- sunny days
- neighbors who try really hard to be quiet during Jasper's nap time (even though they often get confused as to when his nap time actually is), who buy Jasper his favorite juice, who ask us to pray for them, who regularly remember important things in our life, and who bend over backward to minister to us even though they're 85 years old and can barely walk.
- friends. we have the most amazing friends in the world. Hands down.
- coffee when I'm tired.
- coffee when I'm not tired.
- rocket dog shoes and leather boots.
- 3 new pair of jeans that fit me well and are so comfy.
- cozy-ing up in bed with Andrew and watching a good show on tv
- belly laughs (Jasper is providing me more and more of those these days)
- not only friends, but friends (and family) who regularly pray with/for me and who care about things (often insignificant) in my life.
- finding a new, healthy, and relatively inexpensive meal to serve my family for dinner.
- having an impromptu photo shoot where most the pics turn out perfect (again, Jas has been helpful in this arena)
- leisurely mornings involving the treadmill, my bible, and a steaming bowl of oatmeal.
- saying "10-4 good buddy", "roger that", "over and out", and "if you choose to accept, your mission will be to......" in random conversations with my hubby.
- reading a good book
- cheerin' on the Bucks!
- and many more!!

This last week, we had the pleasure of having Andrew's parents stay with us for the week and we had such a blast!! Jasper is walking around, saying "Grama! Baba!" (aka grandma and grandpa) and looking longingly at the door for them (poor guy!). We played games, hung out with extended family, went shopping, Andrew and I went on dates, went to COSI, went to the park, made yummy food, cheered the Bucks on to a perfect season, celebrated our birthdays, read books, and much more! Below are a few pics from the wonderful week of Thanksgiving!
