Routine

Elizabeth loves her routines for going down for naps and bedtime.  She will often remind me if I forget something.  We do things that she likes to do (read books, sing songs, and snuggle) so she likes to do it.

  My Family

I love my family so much!  I've been blessed to have such a wonderful husband, and a delightful daughter.  I have also been blessed with amazing parents, siblings, in-laws, and extended family.

Hair Elastic

I am not sure what I would do if I wasn't able to put my hair into a ponytail.  My hair has gotten so long, and gets everywhere.  Most times I just need to put it up really quickly, so these little things are a lifesaver.

Books

I love to get completely lost in a good book!  I am so glad that Elizabeth is falling in love with books, too.

Dancing

I love to dance!  Dance while cleaning, with my husband, by myself, with my little girl, with family and friends.  Dancing always puts a smile on my face, and makes everything seem right in the world.

Leaves

The best part about fall...jumping into a big pile of leaves!  I am so grateful that I got to share that joy with Elizabeth this year.

Scarves

I am almost always cold, so scarves are wonderful to help keep me warm.

Childhood Memory

 

Thankful Thursday

• I am so grateful to have a husband to help me around the house.
• I am grateful that we had a pumpkin for Elizabeth to finger paint on Halloween, and I am now thankful that it is gone (since it started to rot)
• I am grateful for cars to drive where I need to go
• I had a great time at the Merrill's for a play date.  I love chatting.
• I have loved getting out so much in this last week.  It has been good for both Elizabeth and me.
• I am so glad that my husband has been working so hard to be healthier.  I look forward to many years with him.
• I am grateful for light.  Thomas Edison, right?  It's fun to have candle light sometimes, but light bulbs are so much better to work by.  It would be so hard without them in the winter here.
• I am so grateful for heaters
• I am thankful for water heaters too
• Technology is a wonderful thing to help me keep in touch with my family and friends
• I love, love, LOVE books
• I love listening to music
• I love dancing to music
• I love listening and dancing to music with my little girl
• I love that Elizabeth loves to twirl
• It makes me happy to see Elizabeth enjoying her 'white tutu' so much
• I am so grateful for the temple, and the blessing that are received and promised there
• I am so glad that I get to go to the temple this weekend with Brian
• I love that Aunt Jessi lives here, so that she can do our family pictures (among many other reasons why I love Jessi)
• I am so glad I found a sweater for Brian tonight, and it was cheaper than the one I was going to buy
• I am grateful for paper.  To write on, doodle, draw, fold into something, and especially to capture Elizabeth's beautiful drawings and paintings
• I love that Elizabeth loves to draw and paint.  She is so creative.
• I am grateful that my girl will be in a tumbling class this next month.  She loves to tumble at home, so this will be great to have a safe place for her to learn how to do more safely.  It will also keep us sane and doing something as the weather turns colder and darker.
• I am so grateful for Thanksgiving.  It is going to be so awesome with so many family members coming to join us here in Michigan.  I love family and food, so it will be great!
