I am thankful for...

1. Mike and Amy having the perfect backyard for toddlers to play in. Michael and Caroline had such a fun time running around and playing on the swingset. Of course, cleaning the doggy poo off his shoes was gross! As I was watching them, I couldn't help feeling like Michael does"t need me as much anymore. He can go and run about on his own now, kind of :)

2. the great cycle class that I took today. It felt really good to sweat again.

3. Amy encouraging me to train to run...she even loaned me a good running book...and she is going to help me buy a new pair of shoes.

4. Richard the tree-guy being so patient with crazy me.

5. my sweet boys who are so easy going and well-natured. I love it when Michael stops what he is doing, looks around for me, and then runs over to give me a kiss, only to quickly return to his activity. It warms my heart.

6. the look on Daniel's face when I tried to convince him to eat pureed zucchini and millet. That was definitely a no-go!

7. seeing a friend from church at the YMCA today!

8. sweet Todd who is waiting for me upstairs, trying desperately to stay awake.

9. the Martha Stewart show...Todd and I both like watching it.

10. that God gives me all the time I need to get all of the things I need to get done, done!

11. that Amy and I both did so well during our scripture review session. Memorizing and applying scripture in our lives has made a significant change...and I think I speak for the both of us.
