Short Hello

This has to be short...I am fighting a headache and have a husband sitting on the couch, flipping channels, looking like he needs a partner to watch something with. Who am I to ignore??

First though, I have to say that I read the Coffin Family blog and was inspired to put Bo's ills and Anna's antics behind me...there is still so much to be thankful for. So I dedicate this list, to the original purpose of the blog itself, a THANKFUL list. I begin with two pictures:

This is Bo's new BIG BOY hair cut, Jake did it all by himself!



This is a frequent occurence that I finally captured...Anna ALWAYS requests that her brother sit next to her, it usually lasts 2.2seconds...but she gets the biggest kick out of it




OKAY - thankful list:

1. Planting season, no I don't garden, I plant annuals. The no maintenance kind, nonetheless. But it is fun to see a boring mulch filled planter transform into a ring of color. I had lots of help today too, which was frustrating for me, the perfectionist, but cute at the same time. I was very good and patient if you ask me.

2. My husband - for a million reasons, but today, for his mechanical skills. The window on the blazer (driver's side) has been DEAD for quite some time. Now that I drive the blazer, I more or less demanded it be fixed and b/c Jake is so smart, he did it himself, bought the motor, put it in, something he has never done before, and did it without a book or instructions from a friend. I am sooooo impressed!

3. Time at the gym

4. Clean sheets

5. Hot popcorn that my husband delivers to me as I type this.

6. Finding out that Bible study continues through the summer, so when MOPS takes a break and pre-school is out, I can still count on my Tues. morning coffee break and study.

7. Having a husband who has learned and now lovingly helps me with my "calendar". He speaks up when he thinks I am doing too much, he watches my emotional state and that means more to me then he will ever know. He says, "don't hate me for saying this, but...I think it would be better if" I think, hate you??? I LOVE YOU. It is so what I need.

8. My parents are coming on TH for a visit, a real Gparent visiting Gkids (and us) visit. I am kind of nervous, how weird huh? Excited though. Gdad better come prepared for lots of work with Anna, she has a lot planned. One would think she would opt for shopping with Gma and Mom, but no, she wants to work on rebuilding her little house with Gdad. How fun!

9. My friends who are dedicated to their blogs and update them frequently. I love reading them.

10. My new bras....I will leave it at that.

Good night!
