Thankful for the rest of the letters...

Since November is now over I need to hurry and finish my list of thankful things so here goes:

O: Obstetricians.
During three of my four deliveries complications occurred: heart rates fell and they couldn't get them back up, placenta ripped away from the wall, and strangulation from the umbilical cord. I am so grateful for the great doctors that were able to do what was medically necessary to deliver my kids healthy to me.

P: Paxton. He is so funny and we love having him in our family. He loves to pretend to be a Jedi, play trains, marbles, and army guys, and is the fastest person I know that can make huge messes. He tries to make us laugh all the time. We love you Paxton!

Q: Quiet! It only happens at night when the kids are asleep and I value every second of it.

R: Rhodes roll dough. It is great to use for rolls, scones, or pizza crusts instead of having to make dough from scratch.

S: Savior. I am so grateful for the sacrifice he willingly made for me.

T: Trisha. My sister is so amazing and is my best friend (besides Jimmie). She is always thinking of others and is the most generous person I know. She is such a joy to be around and always makes me laugh. I love you Trisha!!!

U: Uniqueness. I love how unique the personalities each of my kids are. They amaze me in their own ways every single day.

V: Ventilators. We have had to use these more times than I would have ever imagined when our kids have gotten RSV or croup really bad.

W: Waxing. I love getting my eyebrows waxed instead of having to pluck them out one by one.

X: X-rays. It is the only way we would have found out Jaydens arm was really broken.

Y: Yard. We never had this before we moved here and it is wonderful to have a place to let the kids run around without having to take them to the park.

Z: Zoo. I love taking my kids to the zoo, it's the only way they can see "wild" animals in real life.

I have never had the guts to wax anything. :) I'd like to try it one day. Even better, I'd like to try the lazor.
I love your list. Now I'm craving something made out of dough... donuts anyone?

Kim I love your abcs. It makes you think about how much we do have and to be greatful for. And yes I love waxing too I would rather have no hair in those unwanted places, but waxing will do. Its better then being hairy.
