No, it is not Thanksgiving yet but I am feeling so blessed! In church on Sunday we sang the song count your many blessings. I immediately thought of my mother and her singing that song countless times through out my life. The words hit home because I hadn't heard it in awhile.
"Count your many blessings, name them one by one." Well, first of all I am grateful for a companion who I admire, desire, can't live without! He is my world. I am grateful for the relationship we have. We are a good team! He has given me my next 5 blessings. We are a blessed family, not perfect but sometimes feel glimmers of what perfection will be like!
I just am really enjoying this time of year! The beauty, the weather, the food. I love cooking soups and biscuits and cookies and all the wonderful tasting and smelling foods! I want to feed my family healthy and am working on that!(kind of) It is not easy to change old habits and especially things your kids are used to eating. I made some homemade granola bars the other day. I felt good about feeding the kids these. Wholesome goodness!

You have always been such a good example Sid. I needed this post tonight. Thanks! Oh, and thanks for the recipe too. Awesome!
Hey Wolfley's! Your kids are getting so big. Hi, Sid! I haven't talked to in a LONG time. We need to chat, get together sometime. Love you guys.
I have been reflecting on those precious blessings as well. Life is SO much brighter when you count them one by one! I love your thoughts and the heart they come from. You never stop amazing me! All my love!!
The twins have BANGS! They look so gorgeous! But it is a little harder now to tell them apart! :) Sid, you're awesome.
I enjoyed seeing the pictures of your family. I know you don't know who I am but we live in Rexburg, Idaho and my father was Laron Wolfley who was rasied in Etna, Wy. He got married and moved to Riverside, Id. I found you by looking for my own kids, Carey Lyn or Greg Wolfley. I just wanted to say hello, Eugene W. Wolfley, oakcreekassociates@hotmail.com
