Thankful

Thursday, September 26, 2013

As Wyatt and I were on our walk this morning I couldn't help but be so thankful for where I'm at right now in my life.  The decision to stay home was hard, is hard. But as I watched everyone getting in their cars and heading off to their jobs, I was reminded of how thankful I am for my job. 
Ever since I can remember, when I thought about having children, I knew I wanted to stay home.  I'm not really even sure why.  Before, honestly, I probably thought everyday would be spent picking flowers and having picnics.  Obviously I've come a long way from thinking that.  We definitely have amazing days. Days that I'll think about and remember forever.  But we also have our fair share of why did we even get out of bed today days.  
Today is my baby boy's five month birthday.  It's really hard to grasp how fast time is moving and how much he is growing everyday.  When I went to write his monthly update I even wrote 4 months and almost didn't even catch the mistake. It's definitely been the best five months of my life.  I'm so thankful that God blessed me with this amazing little person in my life.

You're killing me with that hat in the first picture. Florida babies miss out on the truly fabulous apparel. Great post too! So many things to be thankful for.

Isn't it precious? It probably wasn't completely necessary, but he's had a cold so I was covering all my bases! ;)
