. thankful thursday .

1.  most importantly we are thankful today for the rain.  it's been a long time coming and was so desperately needed.  i prayed the whole time we were outside in it.  the girls were dancing, i was taking pictures, and we were all saying thank you to Jesus for sending the rain. 

2.  coffee.  it's a newfound obsession of mine.  coffee. 2 packets of splenda. and lots of skinny white chocolate mocha creamer.  it's fabulous. 

3.  being home with my girls.  reality is, i must work.  i must bring home some sort of income.  but i knew the first minute i laid eyes on my first very sweet little girl that i was meant to be home with her.  since then, we have either managed to get by or i have worked.  having an in-home daycare has been perfect for us.  not only do i get to be with my girls all day, every day, but i also get to love on a few others as well.  i'm so very thankful for the opportunity to work from home!  my mom did it when i was little and i'm grateful to be in a position to do it too.

4.  my home.  long story short, this is the 2nd time we've lived in this house.  we took a 1 year hiatus to a different house we thought we wanted and when this old house didn't sell, we decided to move back and i think that was the best decision we've ever made.  i'm actually making it a home.  and i'm loving it.  it's perfect for our family right now as it has 3 bedrooms and one big playroom. 

5.  did i say rain?
