Thankful.

November 27, 2011 at 12:14 pm · Filed under Thankful

This was my second Thanksgiving in Israel.

I miss the holidays.

I have so much to be thankful for this year.

January:

I am thankful that I admitted to myself that I was depressed. I am thankful that I took the steps to get help. I am SUCH a better mother and person because of it.

February:

I am thankful that I got to go home to New York to visit my friends and family. Although it was a business trip, it was the much-needed breather I needed to fill up my heart. I am thankful that I got to spend time with some of my favorite people while I was there
Miss Annie Spohr

Also? Thankful for being close to family- and being able to celebrate my sister in laws wedding day.

March:

I am thankful for being able to spend Holidays with family.

Purim

April:

I’m thankful that my girls can play and run around outside with their cousins.

May:

I am thankful that I finally mastered bread making!

June:

I am thankful that I had a chance to visit Paris for my 30th birthday, and to have been there with amazing friends who i love.

July:

I’m Thankful that we have a pool for the kids to jump into when it gets hot outside.

August:

I’m thankful for hot summer days.

September:

I’m thankful that my girls are adjusting to school in Israel

I am also very thankful to have celebrated my 6th wedding anniversary with my amazing husband (who yes, can drive me insane on most days)

October:

I am thankful for my amazing husband who turned 32 this October. He is the bestest Daddy ever.

I am thankful that my girls can spend time with my grandfather.

November:

I’m thankful that I had a chance to go to London (although it was a business trip):

I’m also VERY thankful that I had a chance to celebrate my daughters 4th birthday… life could have taken a different turn when they were born 10 weeks early..

But more than anything I am thankful for these little girls who brighten up my day.

Every day.

What are you thankful for this year?

My Neve,

You wake up grumpy in the morning. If it were up to you, you would watch morning TV and go to school when YOU were ready.

You are a character.

You love to make people laugh and smile.

You are always the star of the show.

You jump into things head first.

You are fearless.

You get mad and frustrated often when things dont go your way.

You remind me so much of me as a child.

You are definetly Mommy’s little girl.

You dont warm to everyone- but those you do, you love with all your heart.

I am absolutley in love with you- and we have a love affair only we understand.

You rule our house and you know it.

I adore you to the moon and back.

Love,

Mommy

My girls turned 4 last week.. a letter to them.

My sweet Soleil,

She wakes up in the morning with a smile on her face, ready to conquer the world.

She is so easy to get along with that all the little girls surround her when she walks into preschool.

She shares.

She reasons.

“Mommy, can I wear a dress today?” she asks (if it were up to her she would wear one every day!)

She loves clothes just like her mommy.

When I am all dressed and ready for work, she will come over to me and give me a big hug and kiss because she likes what I’m wearing.

When she likes someone she cuddles up on them and lets them stroke her hair.

She’s stubborn like a mule which I think comes from her being a Scorpio. I wonder if she would be less stubborn if she were born on her due date in mid January (which would have made her a Capricorn)

She can drive me to the brink of insanity with that strong will of hers.

She sucks her thumb just like her Mommy did (for the first 7 years of my life!)

She is Daddy’s little girl- there is no way around that.

She is open to trying new foods, but new experiences scare her a bit (like when she ran for the hills when she saw a life size smurf when we were at the premier of the Smurfs movie).

Mature way beyond her years, she seems as though she already knows this world well.

Happy Birthday little lady.

My world is brighter because of my sunshine.
