I Am Thankful For...

Thanksgiving is this week, even though I swear yesterday was the 4th of July, so it's time to pause and reflect on all of the things I am thankful for...
Big things...
Like sibling harmony!
And small things...
Like lunch at Costco!
And sweet things...
Like flowers from your little guy!
And simple things...
Like Popsicles in the backyard on a hot day while rocking your super awesome Star Wars onesie!
And sweet things...
Like a shared summer afternoon nap on a soft blanket in the shade!
And the brilliant things...
Like turning around in your seat and witnessing both of your children absorbed in the literary brilliance of Dr. Seuss!
And the basic things...
Like realizing the back seat has gone strangely quiet, and both children have fallen asleep!
And the strange things...
like being desperately grateful for the hook on the back of the stall door so you don't have to put your purse on the disgusting bathroom floor!  (hey I said it was strange, but you all know exactly what I'm talking about!!)
And the cozy things...
Like those stylish boot toppers knitted for you by your mother!
And the yummy things...
Like a hot cup of coffee and several freshly baked cookies...
And the painful things...
Like the pike plank in pilates that you dutifully perform as penance for the hot cup of coffee and freshly baked cookies!
Ok, almost done, only one more, and this is a big one...
I am thankful for being married to my very best friend  (photo: 2007 Florence Italy - pre-children)...
Who also happens to be the very best daddy...
In the whole wide world!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
