Things to be thankful for.

Every year this time of year brings so much anticipation in our house.  We *heart* the holidays VERY much...
We love the time together...the celebrations...seeing family...we love everything about the holidays from Halloween to New Years!

This month in Celebration of Thanksgiving I will try EVERY DAY to add something I am thankful for...I am sure I will have too many things to even list...God is so good to ALL of us :)

My thing to be thankful for today is a certain aspect of Ben, my hubby.  I am thankful for the relationship he desires to have with our son.  Ben is a wonderful Dad, Husband & Provider but those things wouldn't be there without the desire God has put in him to love us~!  And the desire Ben has to be with Kobe, get to know him, play the things he likes to play and just love on him is more than a mom could ever ask for.  That desire over shadows the other desires Ben has to spend his time doing thing he likes, what a sacrifice, what love, what a GREAT GOD to put that in him.  Like I said, God is so good...to ALL of us.  Especially those of us who have PRESENT husbands and fathers in our lives.




Here are some shots from Saturday.  The Point is starting a basketball/cheerleading thing that will be every Saturday for Dec. & Jan. I think.  The kids come and are evaluated and broken up into teams that will be fair I guess.
Ben had a great time being able to be the one there with Kobe and loves watching Kobe's skills :)









And, thanks Grandpa for organizing these things for the sports programs at church!  Just as the kids had a BLAST at T-ball I know Kobe will enjoy B-ball!

I forgot to tell you. I love all the pictures of Kobe playing basketball. Kobe looks like a great ball handler.
