Thankful :: April 2014 Edition

If I could bottle up the weather we've had in April, I would. After what felt like the longest winter ever, the sunshine and 75 degree days are more than making up for it. Honestly I could just stop there for this thankful post. But then I wouldn't have pictures of my best girl, so I'll keep going.  This month has brought us many things to be thankful for. We had a wonderful time with family...

It's definitely a full week into April, but better late than never for a "thankful" post. I find myself looking at these posts often - when I'm putting Crosbi to bed or needing a little cheering up during the day. I really do have so much to be thankful for.
