My Girls

I love my girls and am so glad I have them. There are a lot of things I could talk about when it comes to my girls, but the thing that made me so thankful for them today was what I learned from them. We are making a lot of spending cut backs, which meant that the girls can no longer do gymnastics. I was dreading telling them because everyday they ask if it is gymnastics day. They LOVE it. So, when I told them we couldn't do gymnastics anymore I was expecting tantrums and dramatic crying. However, the girls surprised me. They asked why, I explained, they said okay and asked if they can still do Preschool, which I said yes. No crying, no fits. It made me change my attitude about all the things I am cutting out of my life too and even inspired me to cancel my gym membership, which I had told Trent I WOULD NOT go without. If my 3 and 4 years old can give up what they love, then I can do it too. Thanks for your inspiration girls. We love you!

Such a great thing to be thankful for. Your girls are so awesome. I guess it makes sense that they learned it from you.

We have been in the same boat lately trying to cut unnecessary expenses. It sucks. It is great that your kids were clearly raised right to know what is important in life and they are just rolling with the punches. Love the photos too!
