Thankful

I just got done reading my blog from last years thanksgiving, and realized as I sit here alone in my house on THIS thanksgiving that I still do have a lot to be thankful for, even more so than last year...

I am SO very thankful for my Ava.. she makes me smile even when I'm down in the worst way, she will tell me to cheer up and that everything will be ok, I am thankful that she has that ability to communicate with me, and smile, and to make me smile in turn. I am so thankful that she has her health, and keeps her happy spirit about herself no matter what. I am so thankful that I have had the last 5 years with her, she is really my best friend. I am thankful that she has come as far as she has, that she can still talk to me, and even when she says her not so nice things, that she even has THAT ability to do so....i am thankful for all the door slams, temper tantrums, eating troubles, her messy room, her toys all over the place..because she is in fact here on this earth. I am so blessed!

I am so thankful for my little Alianna ...what would I do without her! She has gotten me through so much already in her short little 11 weeks ...she is amazing in every way. I am thankful for her little baby smiles, her coos, her cries, the way her hair sticks up and makes me laugh ..and the way she reminds me of her daddy when i stare into her beautiful eyes. She is just absolutely a blessing in every way possible.

And Zach...boy am I ever thankful for him, we have come so far together..I am thankful that he loves me for me, the good the bad and the ugly...I am thankful he found us a place to call our own, that he takes care of us , i am thankful for skype so I can see his gorgeous face , I am thankful that he knows how to make me smile when the tears start to fall, I am thankful that he is a GREAT father to Aves and Ali and I love how he loves them. ..I am thankful that he is strong for us and believes in us 100 percent and gives me the strength to make it through each day without him here.

So very thankful for my own little family and I cant wait until we are complete again.
