Thankful Thoughts

I have been enjoying some special time with my kids lately, mostly just snuggling on the couch or having special little chats about nothing in particular. I love that they can come to me and not feel weird about it. It makes me feel like I am doing something right.
I am missing my Ashlynn. I get especially sappy about her during the holiday season and her being a legal adult is just unreal to me on so many levels. I miss seeing her beautiful eyes on christmas morning.
Natalie is a really good writer! I am so impressed with her ability to portray her spoken words into written ones, I'm letting her occasionally blog on here now because I love that she likes to write like her mama.
Boston is my little lover. Such a sweet and sensitive boy. He comes and gives me backrubs before he asks for things, its cute how he butters me up. Love that boy.
I had Luke (7) read our special thanksgiving book tonight. I love that he is old enough to read it alone and enjoy reading it. We look at the pictures and he makes up stories about the kids playing in the book. Its some really sweet moments that I am already treasuring.
I love being in love with my best friend. I love the hugs in the morning and at night. I love the sweet words and the genuine appreciation that we have for each other. I tried to practice wedding vows and I cant even practice without crying. I can explain in words how much James means to me. I am truly the luckiest woman alive to have such a special man.
