Thankful for:

The sun shining early in the morning!

Saturday

I am so very thankful for those that teach music to my kids.
I am thankful for Savanna's voice. I am thankful that her voice combined with others moves me to tears. I am thankful that I got to share that with Jay and the other parents. I am thankful I got to listen to it uninterrupted because my mom had the boys.

I am thankful for shopping time with Jay and Savanna. Without the boys.

I am thankful for a mom, dad, and Jack date. A very special date.

I am thankful that laundry was already finished and ironed so I could just go to bed.

Friday

I am thankful for a napping child, other kids reading, and the house so very still.
I am thankful that Jay woke up early to teach the youth at church early morning seminary.

November 2nd, 2010

Thankful for:

The relief that came this morning when I realized the dishes were already clean and that I was not walking into a messy, dirty kitchen,

Being able to go vote without kids in tow,

My Mom for watching the boys so I could go vote and pick up Luke's homework,

Good health for those that have it in our house, and increased wellness for those who don't,

Coming home to a cleaned up kitchen,

My whole family liking dinner,

Forgiveness,

Inspiration,

all the sounds in my house, the ticking clocks, the beeps of various machines, the sound of legos being sifted, the shower running, the whirring of the computer fan, playlists and pandora, piano playing, creaking stairs, pattering feet on the concrete, it all makes up the soundtrack of our home.
