Uncle Rick is back visiting with us (even though this picture is from his last visit). Great Uncle Rick is Todd's Father's Father's brother. He is in town seeing a local doctor, and we are honored to have him as a distinguished guest. Hopefully we'll see him more often.
I am thankful for...
1. being available to help out Great Uncle Rick.
2. the great discussion Sarah and I had tonight on the couch...don't worry, we paused American Idol, so as not to miss a single moment.
3. the way Ben waves his hands up and down and makes funny noises when he gets excited. He also has the most interesting squat you've ever seen. His fanny touches the floor every time.
4. getting to watch all of the boys splash around in the bath tonight. They have so much fun banging their hands around in the water. Fun Fun Fun!
5. the great left over meal we had tonight. Last night Sarah made a Sicilian meat roll and it was superb. We had it again tonight with different sides and it was yummy all over again.
6. GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!
7. Todd installing a video camera in the playroom. It meant so much to our families! And he is so thoughtful.
8. good dental care...even though it means I have to wear retainers for a long time now!
9. being reminded, by a certain great-uncle, of the importance of caring for and loving my boys every single day, never taking them for granted or letting frustration overwhelm me. My children need to be loved and cherished and that is why God gave them to me. I am their mother, and I need to always remember that it is my blessing to have them in my life.
10. the lessons that I have learned from other people, whether it be through conversation or by reading blogs. Being able to learn from somebody else's experience is a true gift.
