Feb 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10!

Okay, so I have quite a few to make up for Jersey Mama! I have a perfectly valid excuse:). I've been getting the house ready for someone that's coming to live with us for at least a month, perhaps several months. It's a little unexpected, but we're hoping to be a blessing. We're also gearing up for family to come for the weekend. This Saturday I'm also a server at a Fundraiser for our community hall, so now that I'm finished making excuses for my lack of posting:))).

I'm thankful for warm little people that wander into our bed and keep us from getting too cold! They may just about push us out of bed, but hey, I can't see it lasting forever:).

Kiersten said today that she didn't want to get married. She just likes to bake. I asked her if she wanted to have any kids. She said, well, I'll have a couple that you can babysit! Hmmm, maybe we should let her stick with the original statement and let her be our live in chef/baker!

Phones that allow me to talk to my family in the States.

Animaniacs "Ballad of Magellan" because it made me laugh:).

A house with extra rooms that we can share.

Chickens that lay eggs in the winter time-The pioneers had to wait til Spring to taste eggs most years, so I'm thankful!

Getting to Skype my Bro in law in Madagascar and see all his cool lemur pictures on facebook!

Watching Elyssia make a variety of Rainbow Loom bracelets. She's getting really good!

A husband that loves me and all his children! He's such an amazing guy and I'm thankful the Lord brought us together.

I'm thankful that spring will be here in a couple months!



That's all for today, folks!!!

For...

I'm thankful for snowsuits for the kids. They can play outside on snowdays and stay nice and warm:).

I'm thankful for the freedom to homeschool and enjoy the children all day long! Yes, there are days that a break is desired, but overall it's a blessing that I wouldn't trade for anything!

I'm thankful for the mixed blessing of technology. It can be a great means of communication and also one of the greatest time wasters.

I'm thankful for being blessed with another day of life! Looking for ways to be a blessing and bring joy to those around me.

Accepting a Friend's Challenge!

I'm thankful for an amazing husband and six little people that keep me on my toes every day:).

I'm thankful for money to buy a Yukon full of groceries each month!

I'm thankful for all of us enjoying our first grapefruit this year. Yes, even Samuel loves grapefruit:).

I'm thankful for all the amazing ways we get to serve the Lord and all the ways that He shows us that He cares about us everyday.

I'm thankful for the natural skating rink that the kids get to enjoy in our field.

I'm thankful for fresh eggs every day!

I'm thankful for a cupboard full of baking supplies, because I love to bake:).

I'm especially thankful for the freedom to be a Christian. There are so many who are persecuted and put to death simply because they love the Lord and want to share Him with others.

I'm thankful for the ability to read and share books with our children, especially the Bible!


I'm thankful for the quiet drive to town where I was able to just talk to the Lord and be reminded of how blessed we are!

How's that Jersey Mama???

Anyone else that wants to join in on the challenge should just try to post at least 1 thing that they're thankful for each day:).
