  • For my sweet little family – oh how I love them.
  • For the rest of our extended family.
  • For our friends.
  • For our church.
  • For our home and all it’s many comforts.
  • For the girls hysterical laughter so often when they play.
  • For Mike’s job.
  • For so much good food.
  • For clean water.
  • For our cars and the money to pay for gas.
  • For cookies and milk.
  • For getting to snuggle up and read books on the couch.

I could go on and on, but will stop there for now. We hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for Museum School! Nadia is in her 3rd year and Amelie is in her 1st and it’s just an amazing place. They love the kids and teach them so many interesting things, while offering access to the museum’s private collection of specimens.

In the 3rd year the children study environments, and the year started with the seashore. Nadia’s class just finished “Urban” and they told us she spent a long time working on her house, so I decided to video tape her description because a photo just doesn’t do it justice.

I am thankful for my Uncle Roger and Aunt Paula. All my life they have been a wonderful example of having a great marriage, parenting, caring for others and loving your neighbor. They have loved me and loved my little family. I have tons of stories that I could tell about them, but I decided to share a cute one from my childhood. Frequently a box would arrive in the mail from Roger and it was filled with every kind of pen imaginable! They used to own an office supply company and he would send me all the pen samples from trade shows and what not. I am convinced that this caused my pen obsession and I am okay with that because they are cheaper than shoes 🙂

I love you guys!
