thanksgiving

so last night at the library.. caleb (my 6 year old) checks this out. he comes home and devours it. i cannot believe that a) he picked it (so cute)   b) that in this totally crazy digital 3d world, this 1950’s book captures his heart   c) that my baby who didn’t know how to read this time a year ago now does. sigh. I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!!!!!!!!!!!

totally random candid pics… they are so my life…
i’m thankful for this crazy clan….

(taken on the night of cam’s birthday.. table all done up ala birthday style) love that when they get along, they GET ALONG. i’m so thankful they have each other. i was pretty much an only child growing up… and these kids will have something i never had. these ties.. cords..so many memories. i think that’s why i like the show brothers and sisters so much. despite all the craziness in that household.. (i know it’s just a tv show.. but it’s good stuff.) : ) i can’t believe i will be a sally field one day and i know all i will want are these babies coming home for visits. i will miss them.

and this little munchkin. finding her place in the family so quickly and going with the flow of crazy schedules and such. she has everyone wrapped around her finger and i couldn’t be more proud of the big kids. (this is the influence of big brothers— watching toy story on the PSP) ahhhhh. 🙂 tough life.

and my husband. who works his tail off 24/7.. who puts up with his wife’s hobby and lives with it in his bedroom..steps over all the piles of jamiekcc&e all over his house…who watches my crazy shows with me… who eats the food i give him without complaining…who would do anything for his little/big family. i’m so glad that when the munchkins are older and have moved on.. he will be there with me…to keep the sally field-ness in me in line. 🙂

happy thanksgiving everyone. 🙂
