Happy Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for this year. It's hard to put it all into words.

I am thankful for Troy who, like always, is completely awesome. This man does everything and anything without complaint. He loves our boys with a fierceness that I adore. He takes care of them as good or better than me. He lets me cry and be sad without trying to fix it for me. He is amazing. I should tell him that more often!


I am thankful for our families who love the boys like their own. I am so, so thankful that they are all healthy and happy! They take whatever burdens off of us that they can. They are walking this path with us, holding our hands, giving big hugs, making sure we never feel alone.


I am thankful for all of our friends who have surrounded us with so much love, friendship, kindness, generosity, and support. I am thankful to live in a neighborhood full of truly wonderful people. A place where we've become good friends with some really awesome families who we wouldn't have met otherwise. We really hit the jackpot!


I am thankful for the boys' school. They have been exceptional and have stepped up beyond my wildest dreams. The teachers and staff are some of the most compassionate, caring, devoted people I've ever met.


I am thankful for our amazing doctors, nurses, therapists, hospital & clinic staff, social workers, child life specialists. They completely rock. I am thankful we have insurance to pay for these things. I am thankful we have jobs that gives us insurance. I am especially thankful for the flexibility both of our workplaces have afforded us this year.


Mostly I am thankful for my boys. I love them like crazy! Knowing what I know now, I would not change a thing. The love and joy they give me is immeasurable. They have taught me so many things that I didn't even know I needed to know. They are my heart. I am thankful for each and every day I get to spend with them.
