THANKSGIVING, THANKFUL!


Everyday is a challenge to find a way into the minds of the kiddos I teach, but I try. Everyday is a challenge to try to bring together what makes me me and to balance this thing called parenthood, mommy, wife, and bestfriend. All in all I am thankful to be here and to live as much as possible.

I am thankful for great friends and family. I am thankful for a job, 5 years as a teacher, getting my teacher loan forgiveness to help pay some of the debt off. I am thankful for having my car paid off, almost completely paying off the cost of bringing Zoe into this world, having a roof over our heads, having close friends and family members that visit, and getting a chance to have a positive impact on 6th graders in mathematics. 

Overall, I am the most grateful and so thankful for my family of three plus fishies and doggies! I can remember 3-4 years ago when we first started thinking how awesome it would be to have a new addition to our family! TO hope and pray for a gift from God such as a baby! All the tears and emotions in our journey to have our bundle of joy! Now 2011 our prayers were answered and each day is a gift from God! I love this precious baby girl and am so blessed to have an awesome husband that is the best daddy ever to her! It is so awesome to get to see all of Zoes firsts! Having a patient/loving husband and such a precious daughter is truly teaching me to be the best that I can be as a woman. I am still a work in progress but continue to grow and re-prioritize what means that most... as oppose to what seems to be only distractions or obstacles. I am thankful for every breathe and minute I am here to share with everyone! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy these captured pictures from Thanksgiving!





 
Daddy made some brushetta for us while we waited for yummy turkey food!

Zoe had pumpkin, squash, cauliflower, pear, carrots, and of course Turkey! She did not eat all of this... but she enjoyed half of this plate on her first Thanksgiving!



The other star of Thanksgiving besides our baby girl! Great job seasoing and cooking DADDY!

Some play time and nap time after eating yummy food for Thanksgiving! Zoe got to hang out with her God Parents Janene and Aaron, cousin? Kylie, Uncle John, and Aunt Cheryl!

Aaron was so excited to hold a his only Cowboy Cheerleader he liked... seeing how he likes the Bills!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Look at this baby girl! Such a cutie, even with some slobber about to fall from her mouth! Priceless gift from above! I love you baby girl! Love, Momma
