I am thankful for the prayers that are supporting me for when I get scared and anxious. One of my favorite parts of the day (besides reading books before bed) is the seconds right before I put Malachi down in his crib at night. I always pray out loud and he usually is wiggling or laughing at my voice...I love looking down at him and knowing God's hand is on him already. The joy and love that is in that little tiny 9 month old body astounds me. The rolls and wiggles and laughs that come out of him all through the day fill my heart. The way that he anticipates and loves all the new things he experiences each day, whether it is being carried from his room to the kitchen and coming around the corner to seeing.....HIS DADDY---and then squealing with delight...or piling him up into the car and watching how happy he is to look around all the stores I take him to. So thankful for a sweety that loves doing new things with me. My favorite thing lately is using my Ergo carrier when we walk around stores. I love having him snuggled to me. Its the best.
I love watching Danny and Malachi enjoy life together. I have learned so much from watching Danny with him. Danny loves getting down on the floor and playing with Malachi. They are hilarious together. And honestly, there is NOTHING that thrills Malachi like seeing his Daddy. He vibrates with excitement. Its so precious. I am so thankful to have a partner like him and look forward to seeing how him and Malachi grow closer through the years ahead.
So thankful this Thanksgiving for the blessings that are in my home. My two favorite people to share my life with. A warm house and warm sweaters and slippers and warm drinks. So many wonderful Mamas in my life to share and grow together with. A church that is starting to feel like home. Family only minutes away in every direction. Crisp Fall air. Bright colors. So much to be grateful for.
