Giving Thanks: a Photographic Tour

I love this time of year! It makes me happy to think about all the wonderful blessings that I have been given.

I am thankful for my wonderful husband. Next month is our six year anniversary! He still tells me that he loves me and that I am beautiful. He works so hard for our family and we love him so much.

What a handsome guy!

This year I am grateful that we were able to bring another beautiful boy into the world. I love my two sweet sons! They bring so much joy and happiness to my life. They fill my heart to overflowing!


















I am thankful that after six years Honey Daddy and I can still learn new things about each other and discover activities we love to do together.

I am thankful for our faith which brings so much joy and hope to our family, even in times of struggle and stress.

Photography has helped me realize how thankful I am for the beautiful world that has been provided for us. I am so thankful for nature and the opportunity to discovering new talents and hobbies.


Our little family will be forever thankful for our extended family. Our parents and siblings give so much love and support to us! We can't imagine where we'd be without them.

Here is my honey's family, Christmas 2007.
(In case you can't tell, I'm the pregnant one.)

Here is my family, Thanksgiving 2006.
We have added 3 more babies since this photo was taken!

Finally, I am happy that I have found so many friends and a sense of community through my blog. Your friendship and encouragement have helped me more than you will ever know!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I am participating in Wordful Wednesday.

p.s. Happy Birthday to my sister Jeanette!
p.p.s Happy Birthday to my Mom tomorrow!

    Beautiful post. Such wonderful things to give thanks for. I do think that's awesome that you have such a large family. I've always wished for a big family, but we have a very very small one.

    It is always sad to see another year come to an end. But at the same time it's amazing and wonderful to look back and have this season to be mindful of all that we have to be thankful for and you have plenty. Enjoy.
