Hello everyone.
 
We are several weeks (11 to be exact) into school and we have had a blast.  We have been learning about the Ancient people from the creation of the world and it has been fascinating.  It has been a real joy for me to see history through the eyes of the Bible and how it all fits together.  It all just makes so much sense and once again I am so thankful we homeschool so that I can share the true history of the world with my children.  Amazing.
 
We are coming up on the holiday season and instead of trying to catch up on all the latest here, I thought a list of things that I am thankful for would help.
 
1. I'm thankful for my husband who is the hardest worker I know who can always have something good to say.  I love that about him. 
***
2. I am thankful for my neighbor Cindy who has been a new close friend whom I cherish.
***
3. I am thankful for Cub Scouts that are helping my boys love the outdoors and have good character.
***
4.  I am thankful for Cub Scouts because it has brought my boys and their daddy closer.
***
5.  I am thankful for Cub Scouts because it has brought out the true leader my husband has inside.
***
6. I am thankful for Cub Scouts because it lets me be the tom-boy that I really am.
***
7.  I am thankful for sign language so that I can talk to my son.  Thank you http://www.signingtime.com
***
8.  I am thankful that Ryan has learned his ABC's and he loves them so much he is learning to sign them.
***
9. I am thankful I have a wonderful sister-in-law that is letting us come for a visit. 
***
10.  I am thankful for my friend Jodi who calls and wants me to make a evening run to Target just because.
***
11.  I am thankful for the lady at church tonight who notice how great Ryan is doing.
*** 
12.  I am thankful for my wonderful childhood with two loving Christian parents.
***
13.  I am thankful that I talk to my dad every morning.
***
14.  I am thankful that I talk to my mom each day.
***
15.  I am thankful that my church has Saturday night services so I can sleep in tomorrow.
***
16.  I am thankful for friends who know my weaknesses and yet still love me.
***
 
Well, that's enough for now.  There is so much to be thankful for and sometimes I just complain.  I'm sure I'm the only one who does that right?  Well, then maybe just one more thankful note.....
 
17.  I am thankful for God pointing out that I should be more thankful. 
 
Good night! 
 
Jen
