I am thankful for....

December always seems crazy for me between birthdays and Christmas and school activities, it seems there is always something that needs my attention. This year Sydney is playing in a different basketball league and games start this weekend so I'm adding that too. But I am determined to really enjoy this season. I didn't mention this month is also one that tends to bring up lots of memories of Ellie in the hospital. Although she is doing well, I can never forget what we went through 4 years ago this month. We were so close to losing her and it is really hard to just forget all that we went through....especially rushing her to Kansas City during a snowstorm. I still get a little worried when it snows....what if something were to happen again? Would we make it to a hospital in time? Sooo...my focus this month is on what I'm thankful for.

Today I am thankful for my incredible family. For my wonderful, supportive husband and 4 incredibly loving and resilient girls. God has indeed blessed me!
