Thankful

This guy is the champ.  He sacrifices so much for our little family.  He put his dreams on hold so I could pursue mine...and has been incredibly patient with the many delays and restructuring of said dreams.  He loves the crap out of me and our little wonder nugget.  He is such a cute dad.  Avynlee thinks he is so funny and cool.  I do too.  Adam is silly, sarcastic, and smart.  He has made me a kinder and more tolerant person.  He's also really nice to look at! ;)
(I know this picture kinda looks like she's lost in the woods but I love it so much)  This little girl has completely changed my world.  My priorities are so different now and I am a big ol' wuss.  Avynlee has become my whole life and is my best little friend.  We really do almost everything together already.  I love her so much and am extremely grateful to be her momma.  I am also so thankful for the chance to get to be home with her as often as I am.  I had no idea how important being home with her would be to me.  It means the world to me that I usually get to be there for her through her day.  I love teaching her, cleaning up her messes, cuddling her, and seeing how much she learns and grows from day to day.  This sweet baby has been such an amazing blessing in my life.
 Look at those goons.  My siblings have become my best friends.  I love how close we have all become.  We have so much fun together and tend to get a bit crazy.  We are so similar yet have strikingly unique personalities.  We compliment each other nicely.  I am so grateful my parents managed to raise us four crazies and I am even more grateful we have become so close.
 The parents.  These two have saved my bacon on countless occasions.  Both my parents are extremely giving.  They are always offering to do things for me...little things that are totally unnecessary just because they love me and my little family.  I appreciate all they have done for me and am so grateful they are willing to put up with me!
Adam is extremely close to his family and I am so glad.  They have accepted me as one of their own and they love Avs so much.  They are also a big bunch of crazies when they are all together which is super fun.

I am also thankful for our amazing friends, our house, our reliable vehicles, and our religious beliefs.

Adorable. We really do have a pretty sweet family; love 'em to bits! And that picture of Avs lost in the forest is simply sweet. Cute sweater, cute skinny jeans, even cuter boots! What a little sweetie pie.
