Day 6: I am thankful for My Ava Nikole’. This 8 lb beauty at
birth gave me a run for my money when having her and almost killed both of us
but I would do it all over again to have her! She is an amazing, beautiful,
talented, smart, the list goes on and on little girl! I am blessed to be this
little girls Mommy. She constantly tells me how much she loves me. She like her
daddy is very emotional (most people don’t know that about him). She hates anything to do with running or
getting all sweaty except for gymnastics! That is her one true love at this
moment. She is very shy (like me) but once she gets to know you, she will love
you with every ounce of her being and will be attached to you like no one’s
business. She has a HUGE heart and would do anything for anyone, yes even at
the age of 6. J
Day 7: My Aidyn Parker….Mommy had such a hard time getting
you into this world. You are my little miracle, born 7 weeks early and so sick
but you are a fighter and came out of the hospital ready to take on the world.
You like your sister and have a HUGE heart! You are very feisty and most of the
time you like it to be your way or no way but Mommy and Daddy always win. You
love your trains, airplanes & motorcycles. You melt my heart when you walk
up and say “I wuv you Mommy!” You do things in your own timing and cannot be
rushed but I wouldn’t have it any other way. You rushed into this world but are
now slow as molasses. J
I’m so very thankful for you my boy!
Day 8: I am thankful for my mother and father-in-law who
welcomed me with open arms 11 years ago when I started dating their son. They have
always made me feel like part of the family and for that I am very grateful.
They would do anything to help us out! I know they love me for me and would not
change a thing.
Day 9: I am very thankful to have known Betty Van (Forrest’s
grandmother) who always treated me like her own granddaughter. She was a
wonderful woman and I was blessed to have been a small part of her life!
Day 10: I am thankful for Charlotte & Duke! They have
always been there for Forrest & I when we need them and have always treated
me as part of the family. Duke with his corny jokes and Char with her awesome
sense of humor. They are wonderful people, an amazing couple, so caring and
generous! Ava and Aidyn are definitely blessed to have them as their Aunt and
Uncle. I can’t forget my nephew Case, who I have watched grow from a tiny boy
around Ava’s age into a young man. Sometimes I don’t know what I would do at
family gatherings or birthday parties without him there to entertain my kiddos!
He is definitely one of a kind, Char and Duke have done an amazing job raising
him and I know they are very proud of him as am I!
I think this is all the Thankfulness for today! :) Lots more to come!
