Thankful

I've said it before. Of all the wonderful things I have in my life I'm most thankful that my children have each other. I've never really taken a poll as to why people have children and keep having them but from personal experience I know that the main reason we decided to have more than one child is because we didn't want anyone growing up "all alone". I can't begin to imagine my life without siblings. Growing up with a brother and a sister was fun but now that I'm an adult I just can't picture life without one of them.
Brandon and I love being parents. We love watching our babies grow and make discoveries. I love hearing them and listening to them interact. I always knew that I would like to be the mommy of  a little boy and a little girl but after I had Braxton more than anything I wanted him to have someone to grow up with.
As hectic as things get sometimes more than anything I like to just sit in the middle of the floor and have both of them around me playing with each other.
Brax brought home a ton of projects and things he'd done at school last week. I was looking through them and came across a paper turkey. The belly of the turkey said "Braxton is thankful for......" and each of it's feathers Brax had written something he was thankful for. One of his teachers had come behind him and written really tiny at the bottom what he was trying to write. He sounded out each of the words and I was impressed with that. But these are the things he wrote. "Fmly" (family), "Fd" (food), Hse (house), bdrm (bedroom), and Mnle (sister Mckinley). I stood in the kitchen for the longest time just holding that turkey and reading it, and rereading it. I was so happy that he felt that way. Of all the things he has, he included his sister.
And that's what I'm Thankful for today!
