Happy Thanksgiving!!

What am I thankful for? Every year the answer starts the same... I am thankful for Jasmin, Lilja's tummy mommy, who made us the family we always wanted to be. And for James, Lilja's birthdad, who trusts us to be the best parents we can be. I am thankful to wake up every morning with a smiley little girl chattering up a storm.. and a husband that is supportive partner and such a hands-on dad.. I am thankful that our family and extended family is relatively healthy, some bumps here and there.. but relatively healthy and that we get to see them as much as we have. I am thankful for our jobs we love and for our bosses, who understand the value of family and do not frown upon staying home with a sick child. I am thankful for our friends that through laughter and support get us through the challenging days of parenthood.  Most of all I am thankful of being able to see Lilja grow up.. getting smarter, sassier and experience life;  going to school, learning to ride a bike and making friends.. We are so lucky, so thankful!
