Happy Thanksgiving

-
Happy Thanksgiving to each of you! I am happy to say that I enjoyed a nice day with my family and we had a wonderful meal. I was thrilled to have all three kids home with us as well as my grandchild. I know that they are all close and we see them often, but I am also aware that as they age and we do as well, that could easily change.

I am thankful for healthy children and grandchildren, a husband that loves me, a job that allows me to work at my own pace, and a job that I love. I am thankful for having things that I need and plenty that I do not need. I am thankful that my husband is willing to attempt to purchase a new home that I love!

I am thankful for a God that loves me and protects me. I have felt His hand in many things this week and I really needed that as the Devil was attempting to put doubt into my life with the horrible things that I have heard of this week. Illness, death, and just the meaness that seems to be happening in the world these days. I am thankful that I know that the days ahead are going to be rough as the Bible tells us of what to expect.

I am thankful for good friends! I am thankful that my work from home business is going well. I am thankful for a warm home and that I have the money to put food on the table each day. Those things are important!

Babies Have Arrived

 The long-awaited day has arrived. Our oldest has successfully brought twins into the world. They were a little less traditional as her struggle to have children has been a journey, but we have twin boy and girl babies currently. Both are doing well, even though baby boy had to go to NICU for a bit.  I don't know what they weigh yet, as dad is not good with sending details. I know that they are healthy, and that mom is okay as well. It does look as though they are a good size considering that the baby girl was labeled as failure to thrive early on in the pregnancy. I believe that they both are going to be fine! I won't give out names, so we will call them Baby L (girl) and baby R (boy), Names are unique and I think that they will enjoy knowing a bit of time went into the names.

 Good Morning and Happy Monday! I am glad to be here and share some happy thoughts with each of you as I have been sick all of last week.

I will be linking this to the Happy Homemaker Monday post over on  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom . If you have no idea as to what Happy Homemaker Monday is, you should head over and read the many posts that Sandra has there.  The Weather in My Neck of the Woods... FRIGID!

This past week the only thing that has made me happy was my blanket, hot tea, and my book. I just have not felt well at all. I hope that this week is much better. A warm blanket and hot tea always make for happy moments.  Books That I Am Reading ... I am currently reading ...

  New author alert!  Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream?
