This Thanksgiving I am so thankful! I love Thanksgiving and I consider every Thanksgiving a time to be special and I love having that time to reflect on my life and all the wonderful blessings I have received. But this year is a Thanksgiving where I feel as though my knees need to hit the floor to praise The Lord for my families blessings. Lucas Lee is a huge blessing- my little hero- he is the definition of Love. Justin and I both feel tremendously thankful for the past 6 months and how much our life has been impacted by our little boy! I can sit here and list every single thing I am thankful for when it comes to Luke...but the list would be forever long! So, I am going to list the 5 things that Justin and I decided we could NOT go a day without!
1) Luke's Smile & Laugh!
2) The way Lucas hugs us when we pick him up!
3) The sound of Luke's voice when he is talking to us!
4) How cute Luke is in his jumpy...he makes us laugh so much when he is jumping!
5) Bathtime & Prayer Time with our babyboy!
Lucas went with his Nana & Aunt KT yesterday and spent the night in New Mexico. Justin and I are going tonight to spend the night and have Thanksgiving there tomorrow. Although Luke has stayed away from us before- it is usually on the weekend. Having him gone during the week just through our whole evening routine off. Our house seems so empty without our baby in it. It is funny how me and Justin have lived together for almost 6 years now, and yet in 6 months Luke has changed everything about us and our home lol! It feels empty without him on the floor with all of his toys- or hearing him laugh and talk all night- or giving him his bath at 8pm and then doing our family reading time and prayer.
But...last night I got some very much needed rest and relaxation. Justin and I went and ate dinner and then came home and watched the Biggest Looser and then worked out really hard. Then I got the best gift haha! I was in the steaming hot bath relaxing and Justin came in with a glass of wine! Just what I needed to end the night! It was a good night and I love having quality time with Justin. But I still miss my lil boy sooooo much. And he never leaves my mind for a second when he is away.
We are leaving in about 2 hours to go see our baby...and I am counting down the minutes! I cannot wait to pick Luke up and hold him and give him a kiss and see his smile!
