1. I am grateful for my family members who live close by. For so long, I was troubled that my kids would grow up without the support of and regular interaction with family. Thank you to Katie and to Stephen and their spouses/children who have done away with those worries and offer the kind of love, laughs, and understanding that only family can provide.
2. I am grateful for my siblings who live out of state. We LOVE visitors and we LOVE unlimited long distance. Thank you to Dave & Robynn who can make me laugh at anything, and thanks to Natalie who lets me walk her dog vicariously with her. I feel so fit and refreshed when we're done.
3. I am grateful for my dad and his wife and for the way they make all of us feel loved. Thank you, Bonnie, for always remembering us on your travels, on our birthdays, and as you work your creative, crafty magic.
4. I am grateful for Daryl's family--for their kindness and enthusiasm about our lives here many miles away. Thank you for entrusting us with this crazy, happy little soul.
5. I am grateful for blogs and how they keep extended family connected. I so much enjoy checking on Brad & Melissa, Jenny & Rod, Nate & JoLee, and Aaron & Brooke. You guys always inspire me and make me wish we could all get together more often.
It's time to pull out the Christmas decorations and move forward into the frenzy that defines the next few weeks. I just thought to take a moment to let y'all know how much I love and 'preciate ya.
