So much to be thankful for…
I think I am finally feeling like myself again because Thanksgiving was just full of gratitude for my life, my kids, may family and my husband. This week my husband lost his uncle to MS-a battle that he has been fighting for years and he finally lost the battle and died last Sunday and the funereal was Tuesday and they sat Shiva (a Jewish mourning period) for two days. It was a long week but it was also good. It reminded me that every moment in out life counts and that we can decide how are life is going to be-half empty or half full. This year, after losing his brother, my husbands dad decided to cook Thanksgiving and damn is he a good cook. It was also a ton of fun because the cousins-4 included all under the ages of 3 had a blast playing. It was a great week full of death and life just like everything in the world-the yin and the yang.
It was hard not to be with my family but I also love my husbands family and so it was amazing. It was chill..tons of laughing and great food.
It has taken me a little to get back to feeling full of gratitude. I think the first year of a babies life is just hard on the mom and the family as a whole but we are all in our groove and it feels great.
I hope everybody had an amazing Thanksgiving full of love and good food.
and more food..
And Max’s first time eating mashed potatoes with butter!!
and he even ate some cookies hiding under the table..
and they both enjoyed sitting by the fire–sam looks so serious..
And then we all took some quiet time on the stairs..It was amazing..so full of grace..
You are so right. The first year is always so hard.
So much to be thankful for! Your family is gorgeous and looks so content!
Your pictures are amazing!! You got some great shots. We do have so much to be thankful for and it’s great to just take some time to think about how blessed we are!
A great post Rachel, your gratitude and thankfulness rings loud and clear – and I agree with it all!
Sorry about your family’s loss too.
sorry to hear about your hubby’s uncle…but you are so right about the yin and the yang.

Great photos! I agree, the first year of a babies life is hard on everyone. Having a baby in the house can turn everyone’s schedules upside down!
Sorry to hear about your husband’s Uncle. That is always tough.

Agreed. Online commenting has the potential to be a powerful way to get quick feedback from those who agree and disagree from a variety of sources. Positive or not, it should be sincere and at the least thoughtful. So often it becomes a popularity contest.
