Thankful

This weekend we spent at home. Sometimes those are the best and after all of the running around I think these weekends at home makes me realize how blessed we are and how thankful I am for everything God has given us. We didn't really do anything major on Sat - some yard work in the morning, a little playing, and then Klayton took a nap during the A&M game. After the game we simply made supper and played some more. Klayton would actually sit on my lap and walk around and get toys and come back and sit down and laugh and tell us whole stories (in a foreign language he tells great stories) and frankly it just doesn't get better than that. Of course Kevin was in a great mood after the game so that helped as well but it was just great. A nice dinner with your family, great conversation, and lots of laughs. Then on Sun. we went to church and to lunch and again Klayton played wonderfully and we feel asleep on the couch and read a few magazines. None of it sounds extraordinary but I couldn't help but smile all weekend. I think God gives us weekends like this to appreciate all that we have. On a daily basis there seems to be something to worry about but in the grand scheme, we have nothing to worry about because we have each other and we have God and that is amazing. I know it is not Thanksgiving yet but I just couldn't help but recollect on why we are so blessed. The picture is of Klayton eating one of his favorites - black beans - and they are a mess but his smile is just priceless.
