Thankful - Part 2

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!
