Gratitude

I have felt really grumpy the last couple of days...I think mostly because of lack of sleep. I have wanted to do a gratitude journal for a long time now but have just never done it. In an effort to get me out of my bad mood and in celebration of this time of year I figured it would be good for me to make a list today.
I am thankful for:
1. My children--one of my greatest dreams for my life was to be a mom. I am living my dream!
2. A baby girl to start balancing all of the boyness in our house.
3. A home of my own.
4. The opportunity for Tim to further his education.
5. My baby swing. Or should I say Mallory's baby swing.
6. Visits from friends.
7. Sunny fall days.
8. A big backyard.
9. Wyatt's smile and his desire to play with mom.

OK that last one was inspired by a request for me to play. I better go play magnetix (or magnuggets as he calls it) with Wyatt! I hope to continue this later.
