Time is literally flying by... and way too fast! My sweet baby, Piper, that took us 3 years and 2 days to conceive, is now 18 months old! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was holding her for the very first time. Now when I hold her, she puts her fingers in my eyes and says, "eyes" while laughing and then jumps down to pull the dog's tail.
This has been an amazing journey and I am still awed each and every day at her development and milestones. At this point, every single day she comes home with a new word and she understands more and more.
Here she is "jumping".
Since November is the month of Thanksgiving, I'm going to give you my list of thanks in this blog this month.
Day 1: My amazing husband. After all this time together, he still cracks me up on a daily basis, takes me care of me and Piper in ways that we (*me*) don't deserve, and is without a doubt my very best friend in the whole wide world. Life would simply suck without him.
Day 2: My precious angel, Piper. She also cracks me up on a daily basis. She is smart, funny, sweet, a stinker, and makes me happier than I ever imagined I could be. Watching her grow and learn each day is remarkable and I am in awe of her every word and move.
Day 3: My family. Without them, Iwould not be who or where I am today . They rule and there are a heck of a lot of 'em.
Day 4: I am thankful that our basic needs are met ~ we have a roof over our heads, warm beds to sleep in, food to eat whenever we're hungry (or even just bored), we have clean, running water, electricity, heat, and so much more. I have never been without and I cannot thank God enough for that.
Day 5: My dog Scooter, may he rest in peace. That little white dog gave me so much love and happiness in our 10 years together. He was funny, sweet, affectionate, a good cuddle buddy, he watched TV (which was just as funny as it was annoying) and I miss him terribly every day. However, I thank God that I had him in my life.
Day 6: My freedom and the USA!
