I'm drawing near the end of my month of Thankfulness. I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping up with this for so long. I've really had to stop and think some days, but all in all, I have really come to realize just how much I have to be thankful. I didn't even get into being thankful for food, clothes, and shelter (even though I really am very thankful for those as well!!). This challenge has helped me to realize just how blessed we are. I also want to challenge myself to be thankful everyday, not just because it's Thanksgiving, or the month leading up to it.
So today, while I was enjoying yet another family gathering and yummy food, I thought about how few times we get to do this now. I grabbed my camera after dinner and tried to snap some pictures of my little K and her aunties and Gamma. I realized, that aside from Skype and telephone, those photographs are going to be how we not only remember the fun times with family and friends, but also will be great for helping K get to know and recognize the people that mean so much to us.
I also want to add how thankful I am for the great camera that my hubby gave me as an early Christmas present. It takes such great pictures and I feel really blessed to have it.
I love this, Virginia <3. I also took lots of pictures during our visit with Vincent's Great Grandma and Grandpa. I wanted to take so many pictures -as much as possible-so that Vincent will know that he was loved by his Gma and Gpa Iannarone. I'll tell u - there isn't much in life that is more joyous than seeing your baby in love with the family you've loved all along. God bless you and yours. And good job so far-i've read each entry-and ur doing so well with your "what i'm thankful for" it's not easy to think of something for each day bc we are busy and caught up in the every day routine that is Life! but to stop and "smell the roses" is something u were very wise to do. And I"m so glad to be a part of your life-no matter how small of a part I may be-I appreciate seeing your little Kelly-and seeing your smiling face at our meetups. :) xoxoxo
