Happy Thanksgiving :)

The things I am most thankful for are the things that make me too tired to update this blog as much as I would like. Things 1 & 2. I don't even want to think about my life without these boys.  And these two are the only things that will always, without fail, bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Even when I'm mad at them, frustrated and exhausted, those boogers always make me smile. And it's a good reminder usually to not take anything too seriously. Spilled milk is not a big deal. But when Sam spilled my coffee the other day, well, that was a much bigger deal. And yet, as I was frantically wiping down the couch, I was still smiling as Sam was trying to help me. My signature move these days is smile and shake my head. But at least my heart is warm. Very warm indeed.

(and since it really has been a while, here are a LOT of photos to update the last 3 months in crazy town - aka, the Boyer hive.)

I am thankful

I am thankful that 2009 is almost over.
I am thankful that my car accident 2 days ago wasn't worse.
I am thankful that the baby kicks me all night keeping me awake, letting me know he is good and strong and healthy.
I am thankful that I don't go through Tums like last pregnancy - The makers of Tums are not thankful for that.
I am thankful that turkey's don't mind that we kill them and eat their delicious meat every Thanksgiving - I guess if we asked them, they might say they care, but they sure are delicious.
I am thankful I am in maternity pants on Thanksgiving. The elastic band is much more comfortable and I don't have to worry about my buttons popping.
I am thankful that Phil and I found the perfect name for the baby (don't even bother - we aren't telling you).
I am thankful that the bars in my neighborhood are not rowdy on this holiday - one night free of drunk frat boys and girls in their high heels walking past my bedroom window is bliss.
I am thankful that I have found a way to  do something that I love and have started my photography business.
I am thankful that I don't have to make dinner tonight - or tomorrow (which makes me also thankful for leftovers!)
I am thankful that J Crew doesn't make maternity clothes - Phil (and our bank accounts) are thankful for this as well.
I am thankful our house hasn't fallen apart in a month or so. Although just writing that I realize tomorrow it will cave in to the ground.
I am thankful for honeybees. The honey in my hot tea is making me very happy right now.
I am thankful for my friends. They make every situation better - and always more fun - and usually with wine ;) 
I am thankful for my parents. I don't think I could have made it through this year without them.
I am thankful for my sisters. There to listen, support, bring me back to reality, take me away from reality, and always make me feel loved.
I am thankful for Daisy. She makes me smile every day, and even when she wakes me up barfing at 4am, I love her so much!
I am thankful for Phil. So thankful for Phil. For more reasons than I have time to write down.
I am thankful for the baby. I am thankful that he has brought some joy and hope to our year. And I am thankful that he is healthy, strong, active, and safe.
I am thankful for Henry. He added so much to my life, to who I am,  and changed who I thought I wanted to be.

Did I mention I am thankful for Phil?

Happy Thanksgiving.
