My life has not gone according to plan. My plan. And I have never been so thankful for anything in my life.

This crew of mine ~ they’re pretty special.

Here are some of the things I’m thankful for about my crew:

~ Cowgirl Princess’ artistic flare.

~ Her tender affection for her brothers. {Most of the time}

~ Junior’s mad organizational skills.

~ His eagerness to learn new things.

~ Lil’ Dub’s smile. I absolutely adore it!

~ His genuine sorrow when he’s done something wrong.

~ Blondie’s blue eyes. {I wanted to have one child with my eyes. Just one.}

~ His determination.

What is it about your crew that your thankful for?

Thank you to all of you who left a comment on my last post. My heart was so blessed by each one of you. Truly.

Yesterday, hubby was off work and we decided to climb one of our local mountains {Keep in mind I’m in Arkansas, so when I say mountain ~ I really mean “big hill”}.

About 1/2 way up, I was really questioning my bright idea because (a) my lungs were screaming at me, (b) my thighs were shaking and (c) I’m afraid of heights {like really, really afraid}.

Thankfully, I discovered the view from the top was worth the climb.

The crew did a fabulous job keeping up. {Who am I kidding? I was trying to keep up with them!}

We did have a few attitude problems out of a certain crew member. I won’t name names.
