I am so thankful for my family and for my home! I am so thankful for all of the many ways that God has blessed us!
I'm certain that if he could talk, Jamie would tell us that he is thankful for his brothers. I am so thankful for my precious little one. He is such a gift from God, and I am so blessed to have him in my family!
I am so thankful for my wonderful husband! He does an amazing job of providing for us and taking care of us. He is more than just a great provider and protector, he leads our family in a way that makes us all feel loved and highly valued. He is always there when I need a laugh, and he helps me to think through things when I am overtired and just can't figure something out. He is more than my husband, he is my best friend!
I am so thankful for the kind of father he is for our children. I am so grateful that they have a Daddy who is so involved in everything that they do, and who really takes the time and effort to pay attention to the "little things" that make them feel so special. I am thankful for the example that he sets for them.
Joshua is thankful for Christmas dishes and Christmas spoons, and his "nap", and food...I am so thankful for my little Bear and his perpetually sticky hands. I am thankful for the simple way he thinks about things, and how easy it is to make him smile. I am thankful for the way he is so gentle with his younger brothers, yet so unbelievably rambunctious. I am thankful for the way he is 100% BOY, which I believe means he is comprised of 90% dirt and 10% something sticky to hold the dirt together.
Jacob is thankful for cranberry sauce and PIE, lol. He said he is also thankful for his family but he really likes pie. Jacob is also thankful for kindergarten. (I LOVE this boy!!!!) I am so thankful for my Jacob. (not "Jake", he's JACOB, lol) I am so thankful for the way he wants to be my little sidekick throughout the day. I am so thankful for his eagerness to earn, and his willigness to help around the house. My heart leaps with joy when I see him showing one of "the brothers" how to do something.
I am so thankful for my little Joe. Sure, he can be a handful, but he is also a heart-full! His stubborness can drive me a bit bonkers at times, but he is also the kind of child that loves with his whole heart! He looks at me in a way that makes me feel like I can do no wrong- at least in his eyes.
Let's feast!
Blessings,

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!
that baby sure is getting big! he's beautiful. you have a beautiful family.
