For something new and different I decided to make a list of things we are thankful for this year. So here you go..... (In no particular order!)

Kate:
1. My mom, who is on her way to recovery she gave us quite a scare.
2. Toby, he may drive me crazy sometime, but I love him!!
3. Emmah & Jake, I couldn't ask for 2 better kids!
4. Family & Friends
5. A roof over my head, and food on the table.
6. My job, I work with some truly fantastic people!

Toby:
1. My mother-in-law doing better.
2. My job
3. My family
4. My kids, Emmah & Jake, they are cool!!

Emmah:
1. My Barbies
2. My family, including Ross!
3. Friends and food!

Jake:

2. clothes
3. family

As a whole we have a lot to be thankful this year! We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Many Blessings!

I don't have any wonderfully cute stories, momentous events, or special firsts. Today I thought I would take the time to just say how thankful I am for all the truly wonderful blessings we have in our lives. Toby and I have been married 8 1/2 years, and still know how to make each other laugh (even if some of us do it by setting off the smoke alarms when they are cooking!!), we have 2 healthy children, a roof over our heads, and food on our table. We also have the blessing of many spectacular and supportive friends and family.

I don't think we take the time to share enough how lucky we are. Things may not be perfect, but then life wouldn't be an adventure! So to those of you who read this "Thanks, you are truly a blessing in my life and the life of my family!"

Jake and his bark!

Jake has had somewhat of a cold for a couple of weeks, and with that a slight cough. However, last night it really ramped up and he sounded awful. We even woke him up and gave him a breathing treatment to help him out. As I was putting him to bed, he gave out a huge cough. I said "That is quite a bark you have Jake!" Jake's reply was "I don't bark.......I'm a boy you silly!" I guess he told me!

He is now on two different meds, one via breathing treatment. Hopefully he is better soon.
