Thankful

As we enter the week of Thanksgiving, I find myself feeling especially grateful for all that I have. I am blessed with a wonderful family, both near and far, friends who are kind, thoughtful, funny, and fun, and so many other things that I take for granted far too often.
One thing I try very hard not to take for granted are my children. My girls are growing fast, and it has really been striking a chord with me lately. We are looking ahead to Kindergarten for Caroline next year, and with the twins nearing two and a half, my baby days are officially coming to an end. It is bittersweet for sure.
I am so proud of my girls and the little people they've become, but I already miss the sweet little babies they used to be.  I appreciate every moment of the day that I get to spend with them, knowing that in a couple years they will all be gone at school most of the day, and I will miss them dearly.
