Remember me telling you Cora can't stand to be put down right now? Well here is a prime example:

Thankful

Ok so this post is a little late coming but better late than never right? But in honor of this great thanksgiving month (did I mention I am SO excited for thanksgiving?) I just want to express some of the things I am thankful for in my life.

Today I am thankful for:

These two people are my life! I seriously don't know where I would be without either of them. 

I am so lucky to have been as my husband, and I don't think I tell him enough! He works so hard to support our family and make it so that I can stay home everyday with my sweet little girl. I mean he is trying to finish his degree in Engineering at BYU but insists on working full time. That means it will take him three years of going to school part time (year round school!) to finish. I am completely capable of getting a job so he doesn't have to work as much but will he let me? Absolutely not. I never could have imagined being with such a perfect man! 

And that sweet little girl. Well I love her to death. Although she generally consumes ALL of my time and energy, it is all worth it to watch her learn and grow. I am thankful that I get to stay home with her so I don't have to miss out on anything.

Oh my goodness. Where has my sweet baby gone? The last couple weeks have been MISERABLE! Cora is to a stage where she will not let me leave the room, or set her down for that matter. And when I do she cries and cries and cries. Everyone has told me to just put her in her crib and let her cry it out but so far that has not worked at all! She is so stubborn she will cry until I come and get her. One day she cried for over 4 hours straight. Not very fun. All I know is I hope she gets through this little phase soon because I don't know if I can survive much more. I want my GOOD baby back!

We have got it again. That's right. The flu. Well Ben has managed to avoid it, only suffering from a mild cold. But Cora and I--well you probably don't want to know the details. Its that bad. I have cleaned my sheets several times in the last few days because they have either been thrown up on and even pooped on. Oh the joys. The worst part is, this is the second time in four weeks! Seriously. This could be a long winter.
