Texas Lou

Wow, am I grateful!

1. I am grateful for the opportunity to “live” in Texas for 5 weeks this summer! What an amazing summer it was!
2. I am thankful that my children got the chance to spend so much time with extended family getting to make memories and form bonds with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
3. I am grateful for all of the time I got to spend with some of my favorite and most important people making memories and catching up.
4. I am grateful for all of the fun things we did and experiencing all the firsts with my kiddos! Pool parties, cookouts, the most amazing 4th of July fireworks show, Six Flags and riding roller coasters with my kiddos for the first time, painting with my mom and the kids, road trips, baby showers, multiple aquarium visits with a spectacular dolphin show, date nights, a girls weekend, baby cuddles and meeting new precious babies in the family, hugs from my aunts, uncles, and cousins, Tex-Mex, happy hours with my mom, eating the most delicious homemade meals made by my mom (but not gaining the 10 pounds I gained 🙂 ), Lego Discovery Land, trips to the neighborhood water pack, a visit with cousins to Hawaiian Falls, beach days, eating freshly caught-fish, and so many more!
5. I am grateful for this most special and unique and loving family that I was born into where everyone values each other and makes the effort to stay close! And I am grateful that I have the opportunity to share this family and our values with my kids!
