I appreciate my blog readers who have stuck by me through this month of numerical mishaps and tardiness. (neither of which should be shocking to anyone, honestly) I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share with you and have such faithful friends in the blogosphere. I am grateful for my 4-going-on-40 year old Ian, seeing his talents and strengths unfold and continually finding myself amazed at how his mind works. Yesterday, I was honored to get a phone call that Ian is the student of the month at the karate studio. He was interviewed by Mr. Meza yesterday, so it should be quite a read when it's ready. I really used to laugh at the quote that as a mother, your child is your heart walking outside of your body. I used to think, what sap! But ain't it the truth. He taps into my deepest emotions, perhaps because I see myself in him.
I am grateful for my loving husband, who, despite tough times, remains my happy half and I think we'll look back on these years and realize that we can weather many storms and keep ourselves together. He is a good person and he loves me very much-that I always know. (photo of Tom courtesy of Ian)
I am so grateful for my little Connor, for this face with a shining smile and an emerging personality that I honestly wondered if I would ever see. I love that every other phrase out of his mouth is "Lightning McQueen Caaar". I love that he hums, even when it drives us up a wall. I adore his enthusiastic "Yyyyyeeeesss!!!" when we finally have guessed what he wants. He is beautiful- and he would be beautiful and wonderful even if he never emerged from his shell....I love him no matter what. I also love all of my family and friends, because they have enriched my life tenfold. A million fold. I am grateful that you are all in my life.

Beautiful!! We love you back! Thanks for inspiring my own month of gratitude posts. I enjoyed doing them.
Great topic for your #30. You guys are definitely a loving family.
When I told my mom about the Santa letter(which we got) her comment was "She is raising those boys right- spending lots of time with them" and we all know that will make them feeled loved and secure :)
You had a lot of fabulous posts there, even if the numbers were off! LOL
I'm happy you have such a great hubby and those beautiful little boys in your life.
Because I am severely behind in my blog reading, I just read I think four posts of yours in a row, ending with this one and each one was very good, interesting and entertaining -all rolled into one!
But this one, especially the last photo there of Connor -well, it really says it all!
So much to be thankful for, so little time -it seems -to express those thoughts too. Just let that smile keep coming through, shining like the North Star in your life, letting it help to guide you as you wander (and wonder, too) through each coming day.
Cheers -and Peace.
