Grateful!

We're heading to Pittsburgh to visit hubby's family for Christmas, so this might be my last post of the year.  2009 has dealt economic challenges to our family as most of the country, but that is not what we'll remember years from now. This year we've brought a new life into the world with our daughter's birth, witnessed the astounding growth of our son, strengthened friendships and continued to grow as individuals and as a couple.  There are so many reasons to celebrate and be grateful this (and every) season.  Here are just a few blessings that top my list.

• We are healthy, fed, warm and loved
• I'm tremendously grateful for my amazing husband that provides such a wonderful life for my children and me. I love him dearly.
• My two children - healthy, happy and very sweet little people
• Our family and friends for their love and support
• I'm deeply grateful to those that really love my children. As we don't have family nearby, I'm especially grateful to my friends that show such love for Turbo. Thank you for being our 'village' and allowing us to be yours too.
• I'm very grateful to you that follow our blog! The encouragement and care for our family is heartwarming
• I'm also very grateful for the fellow bloggers that provide so much inspiration. Seriously, what would Turbo and I do all day without you guys?!? 

Wishing all of you a very warm, peaceful and merry Christmas!
