Gratitude

It's November and growing up it was always a magical month. My mom was a big Thanksgiving Fan and I think it's because it is a holiday where family, friends and food are forefront and the gifts you're giving are those of time and love. I have decided to dedicate my month of November to my mom for her wonderful example of finding joy in the simple things and for her unstoppable spirit. In her honor I will concentrate on those little things that make me smile.

I'm so grateful for my children's smiles.
Jacob is missing four teeth and so his smiles are priceless. He can't laugh without getting spit all over me and his little tongue pokes though his jack o' lantern smile constantly.

Kaitlyn has the words best smile. She can smile on command and her infectious laugh makes you smile.

Bailey's smile is one that radiates purity. She is such a proper young lady and somewhat reserved when the occasion calls for it but when she smiles it's from her heart and with pure joy.

Zach has the most contagious smile I've ever seen. He tries to hide it, it's almost as if it isn't "cool" to smile but when it finds its way to the surface you can't help but laugh. The off center smile accompanied by a subtle laugh melts my heart.
