I am Thankfull

I don't know if it is the time of the year, or the weather is to blame, or it is just that I start to feel so thankful all on my own, but whatever it is I like it. I want to say thank you to all who play a role in my life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be me. I have a wonderful family and could not ask for more.
My husband is that person who everyone dreams of. I don't know how he does it, he just does. He has been there through times in my life where most people would run and has always taken care of me through everything. If you only knew some of the things he has done for me just to keep us together and stable, it would make you cry. He is my rock and my angel from God. I truly thank God everyday for him. If he could win the Father of the Year award, he would of won tenfold. He puts his family first and is willing do anything to take care of them. I am so proud to be married to a man that truly loves his children and wants the best for them and will except no less. He will always be first in my eyes.
My Children are the greatest gift from God. I never thought my love for another human being could be stronger than that for my husband until....my precious babies were born. A Mother's love is so strong yet precious, nothing can even compare.
My Emily, whom I have called B since she was born, is the most content, quiet, loving caring child. At 3 yrs old she has so much compassion for others and it just warms my heart to hear her say such sweet, innocent, caring things about people. She is so positive and innocent and I plan to let her hold onto that as long as possible. I know the cruel world will catch up to her and reality will hit, but I pray she will always keep that inner peace about her and spread it like wildfire. She is amazing and I learn from her everyday. Her compassion for others is infectious and I can say it has shown me there is still goodness out there and even a little person like her can make such a difference in the lives of many.
Jacob is my sweet, loving,spitball of energy. His happiness runs through him like a beautiful waterfall. He is the best little boy anyone could ask for. He loves to cuddle and will sit and watch a movie with you, other than that he is going, going, going. He amazes me in so many ways. He is only 17mths and understands so much. I don't remember having a baby, he grew so fast. It amazes people to hear me tell him to do something and he goes and does it with no hesitation. I think it is more that he understands than anything. Jacob is going to be that all american boy. Blond hair, blue eyed, full of energy, encouraging, and a leader. He is the apple of his Daddy's eye and visa versa. There is nothing that touches my heart more than to see him and his Daddy both slouching on the couch sharing a snack and getting to know each other. I am really at a blank with Jacob though. He is still forming his innocent little self and I can't wait to meet who he is.
As for the rest of you, thank you for being who you are. I love you.
