I have been thinking a lot lately about what I am thankful for and one huge thing is my family!
There are days or times for that matter that all I want to do is take half hour, an hour, fifteen minutes- ANYTHING! and just clean! Sunday was one of those days, it had been a crazy weekend-good, but crazy. After the kids were in bed, Zach was making some phone calls and I sat at the table rolling cookie dough, thinking about the craziness that surrounded me. I had the thought that President Monson pointed out in his conference talk "Finding joy in the journey" come to mind, where he said;
"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly."
And so I went around the house taking pictures because I knew even though they drive me crazy, I can count it all as a blessing and be grateful that I am surrounded by the laughter of children, toys, food and just plain happiness!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

I love that talk.... it's hard to think that is something that we'll miss. (I can't imagine that) Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks Becca! I needed that today! Love you!
Thanks for the good reminder...maybe you should post that at LEAST once a month!!! HeHe!
I just loved your pictures and the thoughts. I'm going to take pictures of my house just so I can remember these 'fingerprint' times.
