100 gifts

So, I thought I would post something that was not a picture today.  I'm stealing this idea from a fellow friend at operation motherhood.    This will be an ongoing post about the gifts that I am thankful for in my life no matter how big or small.  I will try to post some every week.

1.  Being able to be a stay-at-home mom for 8 years!!

3.   3 healthy children

4.  My friends -they keep me sane!

5.  My house 

6.  The sounds of tiny clapping hands

7.  Seeing the pride of accomplishment in my daughter's eyes

8.  The sounds of trains going around a track in the early morning(or all day for that matter)

9.  The excitement in my children when they hear the snow cone truck coming down the street

10.  High chair + cheerios = happy baby (at least for a little while-so I can get something done!)
