gratitude and cupcakes

Yes, it has been a rough couple of weeks, but I have not forgotten how much I have to be grateful for.  I am grateful that I get to wake up to these beautiful little faces every morning.  I love the funny things they say and do, and I love watching them learn and grow every day (although I do wish they would slow down a little, they are growing way too fast!) I am grateful for my wonderful husband, who although he is as tough and manly as they come, still asks me how I am feeling, listens to me cry, and can admit that he misses his little guy.  I love that he has a big huge soft spot for our mischievious little 2-year-old who just adores her daddy.  I love that he enjoys doing 'man things' with Mason.  I love that he keeps up on Kinley's school work and reading, and always remembers to ask her how her friends are doing and what she learned that day.  I am grateful for my family.  I love them so very much. 

 And I am grateful for the little things.  The simple pleasures.  Eating dinner as a family, even if it's just hot dogs.  Going for walks around the neighborhood.  Making cupcakes with the kids.  The sheer joy on their faces as they lick off JUST the frosting.  I have so much to be grateful for.
