BLESSED WITH A GREAT FAMILY

I am sure we all take our situations for granted and forget the many ways in which we are blessed. Recently on a blog post, I expressed that what I wanted for Christmas was for my family to be happy. This morning, reading Sharon's "Facebook",   I realized that they are a happy and positive thinking group.  I am robbing their posts from Facebook and reposting them here to give you all an example of what I mean:

Quentin is working to become an Eagle Scout, Justin is an outstanding athlete at LHS, Kolton is a leader on his basketball team and playing sax in the band, (Gma did too), Ethan is a leader on his soccer team, in class, and citizenship, Noah is also a leader on his soccer team as well as in his class. I'm quite sure Aiden is too but he is a little young yet. I'm sure he will follow in the footsteps of his brothers. You guys are all great role models for your peers.

We have been blessed with three wonderful sons who married beautiful girls. You guys are all great parents and have given us so much for which to be thankful. Thank you all so much for being who you are. You are all such a blessing to us!

I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU! Merry Christmas and thank you for the gift you have given us!
