a heart of thankfulness

i just wanted to pop in and share a picture of emma and her twin, which she drew for me.  i love it!  i love her and her creativity, spunkiness, independence, determination, and general craziness that's always surrounding her.   these days i'm feeling really tired by the end of each day and can lean towards complaining about ALL there is to do and how HARD it is to do a lot of it here in a land that speaks a totally different language.  but i try to remember to be thankful every day.  today, i'm thankful for my kids.  God blessed allan and me with the three of them whom we love so, so much.  His creations are amazing, and that goes for our kids, too!
