Thankful

Sam and I are so different. A few days ago I asked him to come up with three things for which he is thankful. He responded, "Only three?" I guess I am the pessimist in the relationship because I expect things to go poorly and then am pleasantly surprised when they go well. I sometimes have a hard time seeing the good and instead focus on everything going wrong. Sam is helping me to stop doing this, but it is a new struggle for me. I never felt like anything was bad before! This Thanksgiving, I am especially grateful for a few things.

Sam is thankful for:

1. Babies. I am so grateful I have healthy and happy babies (wife, son, and fetus)

2. Family. A loving and supportive family makes such a difference in my life.

3. Holidays. Relaxing and spending time with family and friends is a sure way for me to be happy.

Emily is thankful for:

1. Tomorrow. I am not a perfect wife or mother. I am so glad I have tomorrow to try to be better than I was today.

2. Energy. This is mostly in regards to Alex. I cannot believe how much energy this kid has. He is helping me appreciate my health and body.

3. Pregnancy. I absolutely love being pregnant. I am so happy I have this chance again.

Alex is thankful for:

1. Sticks. These are all-purpose toys. It can be used as a weapon if someone tries to invade my turf. Or I can just wield it around and poke things.

2. Shoes. Mommy doesn't let me play outside without them and I think I would go crazy if I couldn't play outside.

3.Weight. Mommy spoils me and lets me eat whatever I want because she is worried about my weight. I especially like candy.
