Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for.
If I think about it for too long it becomes overwhelming. I feel undeserving. With such an abundance in this life, how do I ever complain?

Finances
Exhaustion
Arguments
Traffic
My weight

I am ridiculously fortunate.
Blessed.

Thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Jacob makes a smoothie

The other day, Jacob got a plastic pitcher out of a cabinet, filled it with fabric veggies, and pretended to blend it all up like a smoothie. Then he handed josh and I little bowls and proceeded to pour us each some juice. He even made a “slurp” sound effect for the pouring. Then he wanted us to do “cheers” and asked if we wanted more juice. So cute!!
