Grateful

I figured since it had been another month since I posted it was about time to get around to it again. Our October flew by and I'm rather glad it's over! While we had lots of fun it also seemed to be a month filled with chaos - THAT I can do without!

After doing my photo a day last December I loved that I had just a bit recorded for every day of the month. This year I wanted to focus on November because I really do have SO MUCH to be grateful for! My goal, which is VERY lofty considering my current blogging behavior, is to record a little snippet each day of just a few of the things I'm grateful for. I won't necessarily have a photo each day (my go-to lens on my camera is broken) but I am hoping to write down just a bit of the gratitude that I have.

Today I'll start with the obvious ... my family. I made this scrapbook page this past week for a speed scrap I was hosting and I just love the way it came out. The photo is one that I took on our first trip to the beach as a family this past month. No, I didn't have Steve and the girls posed for this shot - that is part of what I love about it!! It shows the natural instinct for them to hold onto him, knowing that he will keep them safe in uncertain times (the ocean was all new to them). It shows the wonder of a little boy playing in sand for the first time (exploring and learning new things). What a blessing it is to have these people in my life ... to call them mine. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have such a wonderful family :)
