Amber - I am glad you started this and that I saw it. I am so enjoying posting thanks each day this month on FB. It really does focus the mind on the positive things and difficulties seem smaller and less bothersome. THANK YOU! Merry Christmas.

I love the pictures of our little boys. Anlon looks so tiny next to B. Love the other pics too, especially the one of you two reading together. I always look forward to Multitude Mondays :)
