Tim -
-My wonderful, good looking, strong, sweet (Yes, I almost choked on that), supportive husband
-The Sunday afternoon naps Tim lets me take while he watches the girls
-How Tim works so I can be home with the girls
-How Tim takes over if and when I get a migraine
-How Tim cooks dinner for us on occasion
-How he changes a dirty diaper without being asked
-How he is an amazing father to our kids
-The anniversary trip to Universal Studios in Orlando last weekend
-6 years of a happy marriage, Tim really is my best friend
Jenna-
-The child we never thought we'd have - Jenna
-Jenna's complete craziness and obsession with "moosetaches." The kid makes me laugh!
-Jenna's prayers
- What Jenna is thankful for this year "My Mommy and Daddy, me, my brother and sister and Molly." Funny.
-Jenna's kind hearted nature and love for her sister and her whole family
-The fact that she shares anything and everything with anyone
-The smell of her hair
Ashley -
-The surprise that is Ashley. She was a surprise and has been one every day since we learned she'd be joining us.
-The smiles and laughter that clown brings to our whole family
- Sweet, sloppy baby kisses
-The smell of clean baby
-Naked baby
-Naked, running baby
-How she is tiny but tough. Nobody messes with baby!
-The way she can be crying and so upset and if I say "Yay!" she smiles and starts clapping. :o)
- So thankful I don't have a Bebe - less life. I don't know how we made it before without your craziness.
-I wish I could convey all that is Ash - unless you are around her - you just don't get it!!
Molly -
-While I am not thankful for the barks that announce a lot at our house, I am thankful for her and all she puts up with. Most dogs would not be able to deal with all she does. The constant pawing, petting, loving and cuddling, toy stealing, yelling and chasing. She gets so peace now that Ash is on the run. Yes, that baby has BEEN running!
My parents-
-The way they take us out to lunch most Sundays after church. Thank you!!
- For watching the kids for us on occasion.
- The shopping trips with my mom and the girls
- The one on one time my mom spends with Jenna sometimes. (Ash and I do need a break sometimes!)
I am thankful for all this and (in no order) love, laughter, Coca- Cola, Mountain Dew, God and Jesus, the plan of salvation, chips and dip, Amy, Jon, Jason, online shopping, my home, my car, my health - stop laughing at me, Tim - Gizmonster and Sassy, Tabby and Tootsie, clearance sales. Sheesh! This has gotten out of hand and I am starting to feel the need to list everyone and everything. Time and energy will not allow it! You know who you are and I am thankful for you!!
So, in the spirit of the season, please tell me some of the things you are thankful for.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Maybe Jenna knows something you don't about a "brother"? :)
You've already read my post, but I could also add most of what you added at the bottom of yours...yes, we may be long-lost sisters :)
I am thankful for you.
Love ya!
I, Kelly, am so thankful for allowing you to come into my world, albeit through the blogger world. I cannot wait to meet you and laugh with you over the antics of those adorable babes of yours :)
I was thinking the same thing about Jenna knowing something you don't about 'baby brother'?!?!
I am thankful for my family and awesome Christian friends that keep me so encouraged. I am also thankful for these blogs...I've been able to stay in touch with people so much better because of them. :-)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I asked Rowan what he was thankful for, and he said "Love and chairs."
I'm thankful I get to read your blog. I'm thankful someone else I know has a crazy life just like me! I actually posted my ABC's of thankfulness on my blog, if you want to read them. :)
What a great post! Sounds like you had a great day celebrating all that you are thankful for:)
What a great list with sweet thoughts of gratitude.
