Thanksgiving and all our blessings!
Sunday, December 5th, 2010I know I have really been awful with posting since we decided to move. It has been hard for me to find the time between moving and then finishing school at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC and then graduating-YIPPEE and then moving and then starting Rachels Wellness but here we go. So much has happened. I owe a birthday letter for Max and now almost one for sammy but Thanksgiving was great and lots of fun. It was hard to be away from my family-the first time in almost 10 years but luckily my great husband was there to tell me it was ok to be upset. Sometimes for a tough “do it myself” and “I can handle it on my own” type of girl..I need to hear that it is ok to ket go and cry and just go with the flow..so once he let me know that it was ok..I felt good and enjoyed the day and saw all the blessings around me. So here is a picture of my little guy and his momma who adores him.
I have to say it is quite funny to have Thanksgiving in the warm weather and be wearing short sleeves and not be cold while up north it was snowing. Max managed to have a gluten free meal even though we ate out because I called ahead and got him a baked potato and veggies steamed. I then found the desserts that had no gluten and he was in heaven. Sammy ate a yogurt I brought and the icing off some cupcake and she was in heaven as well.
The kids played and enjoyed dinner-well they actually did a lot of running around but it was still nice and we had a great time being with family..not my own family but it was still family. At one point Max was break dancing and this guy actually got up from his table and started to break dance with him as well-it was the funniest thing I have ever seen. The kids are growing up so fast. I cannot believe it.

I am very fortunate for all that has been given to me. I always have talked about our food allergies-gluten and wheat intolerance, egg allergies, digestion issues but at the end of the day, I have the happiest and most special kids I have ever met. Max is the sweetest and toughest little kid I know. He has a huge heart. Sammy is on fire. She is talking up a storm and has an agenda all the time and a plan. She is so strong in her desire to enjoy life and live it to the fullest. I am blessed with love from a great husband and two amazing and truly gifted children. It is all grace. I am one lucky girl!
Thank you for all you have given me, whoever you may be up there looking over me! Thank you!
