1. I am thankful for the opportunity to attend things like this Time Management Seminar this evening. Just the thought of going makes me feel more motivated...
2. I am thankful for the vast resources and books that having a library provides. The boys and I have all REALLY enjoyed reading and it feels like we can't get our hands on enough books these days!
3. I am thankful for my precious Jacob who is suddenly FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!!!! I don't know how that happened....But, I am thankful for the last four years I have shared with him, and the 8 and a half months I got to share with him before finally seeing his sweet face. I am thankful for the possibilities that lie ahead for him, and for his incredibly bright mind. I am thankful for that special way he talks to just me, how he feels comfortable enough to climb into my lap for cuddles, even though he is "getting bigger now". I am thankful that he has been blessed with so much intelligence to want to question and understand everything around him. I am thankful for the little ways I see him maturing every day, such as when he helps one of his brothers, or tries to teach them about something. I am thankful for his helpful attitude and his willingness to do chores and just be a helper around the house. I am thankful that he wants to open the door for people and that he would carry every heavy thing for me if he could. I am thankful that he wants to grow longer legs so that he can drive me places because he knows that I don't really like driving all that much. I am thankful that he told me that I am a "really nice Mommy" because I helped him pick up his books this morning. I am just so thankful for my Jakers. (even though he would never let me call him that anymore!)
With a Thankful Heart,

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
