Gratitude Challenge: Days 1 and 2

I'm going to post 1 thing everyday this month that I'm grateful for.  It's the 2nd, so Ill have to do 2 today. 

1.  I'm grateful for our new house.  It's bigger, and we have realized how squished we were before.  We have room for all of our things.  It's warm and keeps us protected from the storms outside. 

2.  I'm grateful for my kids.  They're so fun.  They make me laugh and smile all the time.  They are really amazing and I can't believe my body actually made them.  Some days I feel so overwhelmed ... there ARE 5 of them!  But I couldn't pick one to give up ... and our family would NOT be the same without each individual.  I really think we're so much better off for having each of these sweet spirits in our home.  I would not trade this family for any vacation, or car, or mansion, or wardrobe or anything.  I know the sacrifices we have made having a big family are SO worth it.

Stay tuned the rest of this month ...
