So Much to be Thankful for...

So, I started this blog to keep family and friends in the loop about the silly things that Lucas does and the crazy ways Scott and I react to them.  Clearly, that hasn't happened, since the last Lucas-related post was to say he just started crawling.  Okay, here's an update: He is RUNNING at this point.  He talks up a storm (and says some pretty funny stuff), loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  He has no fear.  He will climb up Scott's 22ft slide (with help), slide down and then say, "Mommy, I go again??"

Facebook is a fabulous way to chronicle those things on the spot!  I'm going to try to be less "annoying Mom" on Facebook and try to post more here.  We'll see how well that works.  I haven't figured out how to blog from my phone just yet.  I'm sure it isn't hard... I got the app... but I digress...

Well, here it is today, Thanksgiving.  Yes, I am thankful for this break, but I am thankful for so much more.  Here's just a short (ha!) list of my gratitude:

My baby!  Lucas is getting so big, and he is just so smart.  He makes me laugh, even when he is at his most difficult moments, which thankfully, don't happen too often!  I love when he randomly crawls into my lap, gives me a kiss and says, "I love you, Mommy!"

Scott.  He has been so busy lately with work, but he is working to keep our family in a beautiful home with food on the table.  It also helps that he is a wonderful Dad who loves being silly with Lucas (who may or may not cooperate when Scott wants to play... ha ha!)!

 

 My mom is finally living in Florida and Lucas LOVES it! 

Thankful that Lucas has such great older cousins to look up to! The top picture is of his cousins in Long Island, the bottom ones are of Lucas and Lexie :)

I can't find anymore pictures, but to add to the list of thanks:

• my amazing family that grows bigger every time I blink (I cannot WAIT for Christmas!), 
• friends who have become family, 
• a roof over my head, 
• a job that I enjoy, 
• a day care provider who loves my child just as much as I do (sometimes more, depending on the morning I've had with him... ha ha!)...

 

Oh yeah, and I'm thankful for one more thing........

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
