So grateful...

It is mornings like today that I wake up bursting with gratitude. It is cold here, albeit nothing compared to what some of you have experienced this winter. But for us it is very cold (windchill 27 degrees). I feel so-so okay considering I overdid it yesterday. We have a fire in the fireplace. We are coloring with crayons. Oscar is helping Angelica when she needs it and she is letting him (precious!). The dogs are wrestling and making us laugh.

My heart is so full of love for these kids and these dogs and this home. I am so thankful for the adundence in my life. Thank you, God.

Hope each of your days are full of all the things that make you happy.

xoxo

Don't you love it when you can create memories for your kids? When they grow up and you are all together with family, they will say "remember when you used to have a fire in the fireplace on those cold days and we would all just be together and play?" That is wonderful!
I hope you have a great day tomorrow.
Much Love, Janet
