Thankful Thursday #11
Happy Thursday Friends! I am enjoying a week without much computer in my life, and will probably be doing the same next week too. Mike is off this weekend and Independence Day too. I am so looking forward to time spent with family! We are going to celebrate Jed's First Birthday too.
#126 My sister getting out a tub full of our old barbies among other things.
(Couple of random little side notes I just can't keep to myself: 1. Who played with Maple Town toys??? They were my favorite! 2. Who can tell I was a child in the 80's and early 90's? 3. The little boy Barbie doll has a bowl cut and totally brought me back to the days when Jonathan Taylor Thomas was the greatest thing to grace the television airwaves. Home Improvement, anyone?)
#127 Addy asking me, "Is that the church where you got married?" I reply, "Yes, baby." Then she tells me, "When I get bigger, I am going to get married there... In the church with the tall, tall, high tower! I am going to get married in the tower and dance by the bell! K, Mom?" She later clarifies that bigger means 5. I proceed to tell her a little about marriage and how she should look for a man like her daddy. It is a good gift, all of it, but especially the part where I can tell my daughter to look for a man like the man I get to spend the rest of my life with!
#128 Footed-Pajama Bible Study Buddies
#129 A turtle swimming through the cheerios.
#130 How it only takes the span of one email for my daughter to locate green plant tape and string it from one end of the room to the other, around toys, chairs, and her brother. I turned around to find that my room was very much like the girl's cabin on The Parent Trap... only with green tape.
#131 Getting to be a part of a surprise anniversary party/vow renewal of two very awesome people. The look on someone's face when they have been genuinely and pleasantly surprised. Watching 2 daughters put on the party for their parents, and 3 boys walk their momma down the aisle. Watching how after 25 years of marriage, 2 people, if given the option, will still stand and say that I still want to spend the rest of my life with you and I love you more now than then. It's a beautiful thing!!!
#132 Canolis
#133 Getting goofy with my best friend
#134 Frogs
#135 Birthday pancakes and eggs
#136 A day spent with a friend
Side note: This is my 100th post! And it's been just about one year since I thought I would give blogging a whirl. Thanks for being on this journey with me friends!
Wishing you eyes to see all you have to be grateful for!
