Thankful

There are so many things that I could say I am thankful for today. We really are very blessed. I am thankful that we haven't been to the emergency room in a few months (knock on wood). I am thankful for my amazing family members. As much as I wouldn't choose the challenges our family has had in the past few years I am so glad to see the way that we have all stepped up to the challenges life has brought us and grown. The other morning when it was time for prophy Eve decided she would get the boys band-aids, Evan got out the tic-tacs, and Ezra grabbed the t.v. remote to get Octonauts on for infusion time. These kids are amazing. They are growing up being so empathetic and loving.

Winter Wonderland

 

On Saturday we got a little bit of snow. The kids were pretty excited. Ezra brought the littlest snowballs I have ever seen into the house to hit everyone with a snowball. It was pretty adorable. Eve wanted to make snow angels in the driveway. There wasn't enough snow to make a really good one though. She made the angel and you could see the gravel of our driveway. Last night it actually snowed a few inches and the kids were so excited. They wanted to go outside and play in the snow as soon as they woke up. I was able to keep them in long enough for them to eat breakfast and then they were outside. Evan cracks me up because he refused to wear gloves but then he started crying because his little hands were frozen. I couldn't even get him to put on gloves then. Ezra and Eve were just happily playing in the snow with the proper snow gear while Evan was being stubborn and crying. He wouldn't even move. Just stood there frozen and crying waiting for someone to come save him.

Here is our band of pirates with the tick-tock croc on Halloween. They are just too hilarious.
