Thankful Ellie

After reading One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp, I have been trying to put into practice fighting my bad attitudes with thankfulness. Even though I haven't mastered this fine art, I am trying to help Ellie do the same. One day we made thankful lists together all day. Another day I let Ellie take the camera around the house to take pictures of things she's thankful for. Here are most of her shots. I couldn't figure them all out, so I had to ask her for help. Ellie is thankful for:

her book. 

her clothes.

her lava lava.

Abraham's roly-poly.

the tree in front of our veranda.

and Abraham.

 

I'm thankful for Ellie and Abraham. And I'm very thankful that you don't have to be perfect to be a mommy.
