A grateful heart

"Rest and be thankful" William Wordsworth




























It's coming up to American Thanksgiving, and so for all our American friends we wish you and your family a safe and happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.
In the spirit of thankfulness we thought today we would concentrate on gratitude.
What are you grateful for today? Share with us!


We are grateful for...

The blanket of snow that fell last night here in Ottawa. All the trees are covered in inches of heavy snow. As our neighbour said: "It's magical isn't it?" Their is always something special about the first big snowfall.

We are grateful for...

Charlotte's first official Etsy sale! A lovely lady in Toronto ordered one of her adorable kitties! We are all so excited to see it kick off!

We are grateful for...

Being able to walk to daily mass. Our local parish has daily mass, and it is a special treat for those at home to be able to attend daily mass before school. John, Charlotte and Leah all take turns reading and serving.

We are grateful for...

Black Friday sales here in Canada! While we don't have American Thanksgiving to celebrate, we now have the famous and best shopping time of the year! Black Friday! It makes a big difference buying an expensive dress much much cheaper..not to mention all the Christmas gifts...shopping here we come!

We are grateful for...

Fresh flannel sheets! We love love love new flannel sheets straight out of the dryer. There is nothing like crawling into bed with soft, warm flannel sheets. It's like being hugged..lol

We are grateful for...

Christmas music on the radio! In our stressed out moments of traffic, hectic driving, busyness etc, it is such a treat to turn to the radio and listen to our favourite Christmas tunes.

We are grateful for...

The new life in our family! Tonight we are celebrating finding out what the gender of our new niece and nephew. We CANNOT wait and are so excited!! We will share with you tomorrow the creative way our sister Elese and brother Shaun plan on sharing the news...so very thankful for our family.
