My list of thankful thoughts

So much to be thankful for, so I thought I would make a list.

1. Matt, who is so patient and loves me steadily despite my wild ways and crazy antics. What a rock, friend and partner in hilarity and sorrow. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

2. True-Blue, I can't imagine what my life would look like without his joyful spirit bounding around our house. Recently, he spends almost all of his playtime dancing and singing, I could watch him ALL DAY LONG.

3. Zoey-Lala, this girl cannot get enough of me! She constantly wants to cuddle, hug and love on her Mama and I am treasuring every moment as I know it won't last forever.

4. My mom is an incredible piller of strength. We have shared the most intense, crazy moments of our lives and she consistently responds in love, kindness and grace. So grateful to be her daughter.

5. Sisters and brothers! Sometimes I think about having more kids only because I am sad that my kids won't have this community of genuine love and support that I experience on a daily basis. So blessed to have David, Ted, Lael, Abi, Elisabeth, Hillel and Howie as my best friends.

6. Aunt Suzie - What a loyal, loving aunt and friend. She has helped raise and mentor all of us and I am so thankful for her.

7. Friends who are so amazing, constant in their love for Matt and I.

8. My house! Still can't believe that I own a house in Seattle. So happy that Ted and Jill helped us to remodel the carport into an extra bedroom.




Love, love, love!

Bathtub singing

True has gotten in the very awesome habit of making up silly songs. Tomightnin the bathtub he is singing
" my mom and dad are so so sweet!"
"if you see my family they will give you a hug!"

He just realized that I was noticing what he was singing. In order to disract me he just asked me, " mom, when you are in jail do the gates crash?"

Hmmmmmm, I have no idea why he thinks I have been to jail.

But now that he has my attention he has started to sing "my mommy is so beautiful.".

What a little doll!
