The week of Thanksgiving is upon us and as always, it offers a great opportunity to reflect on the year past. I have so much to be grateful for that I thought I would list my highlights.
1. Bringing Dreamsicle into our family. Although the wait was long and hard, now that we have her home I am very thankful for this little girl.
2. That Chester has been able to remain in the USA for the entire year of 2006. We have been able to see him a number of times and he will be home for Christmas.
3. That U*Haul got to fulfill his dream of playing college football. Way back in 3rd grade when he played rocket football he was announcing his intention to play college ball. I'm glad he was able to make his dream come true.
4. That X*Boy is the man that he is. McGyver couldn't do all that he does without the constant help of our eldest son working with him every day. It has been such a joy to watch my husband and my son knit such a special "man to man" relationship this past year.
5. That McGyver loves me with his whole heart and soul. It is incredible to be able to travel life's journey with such an amazing man.
6. That after losing my father a few years ago, and McGyver's father losing his wife a few years ago~both of our parents have found companionship and seem happy. It's been a long road for both of them.
7. I'm thankful for my job. I get to work doing something I truly enjoy and get to work with some wonderful people at the same time.
So, what are you thankful for?

I think your list is pretty inclusive so, being the "borrower" I am, I'll use your numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, and half of 7 of course referencing my family :)
Gobble, gobble to all of you!
