Thankful Thursday


I am thankful for many things this week, and since I missed last week, I will include a few from last week too.

-for my dear hubby for taking us on a great vacation, for taking good care of me and the kids this week while I have been sick, for reaching out to a friend when he needed it,for all of the hard work on the fireplace that looks so beautiful, for the great walk on the beach at night, and for shopping at American Girl with little Myah.
-for Dayton, for being such a great helper with Myah in the car while we drove to Wisconsin. For watching Myah while dad and I walked on the beach at night and for making us feel young again when you asked us if we "made out" when we came back in the room, you are growing up way too fast! For saying it feels good to be home.
-for Myah, for being a good girl and going with the flow on our vacation, for giving up naps, for loving the water as much as we do, for sitting and watching a video for the first time ever while mommy is sick!
-for the z-pack that is hopefully knocking this infection out of me!
-for the laptop, how else could I stay sitting for a few days.
-for my oldest nephew Nate who turns 18 today!!!
-for my nephew Taylor who found out he is the starting quarterback, he is a sophomore.
-for my niece Annabelle, who turns 3 on Friday, we can't wait to see what your mommy has cooked up for the bash!
-for Annabelle's birth parents, for choosing to give her to a family who loves her beyond measure.
-for Lon and Phyllis' engagement, we are happy for them.
-for the Smith's for putting up with us and for showing us a wonderful time!
-for the new carpet in our family room, we just love it!
-for my extended family, I wish I could have made it to the reunion this past weekend!
-for my cousin Ruthie's daughter in laws referral of a 10 month old baby girl in China, now Myah will have 2 cousins from China! We can't wait till you arrive home Morgan.
-for the rain that we needed!
-for the sweet comments made by blogger friends!
-for Sarah's babyjellybeans site that is ending this week. We started them together and I am going to be sad to not see the updates of Myah's Hubei "sister". We sure had a fun journey together.
**I am not sure why my slideshow is staying at the top, does anyone have a solution?**

Leslie - Did you put the slide show in as a page element instead of adding it to your post? that's the only thing I can think of.

Myah is just beautiful! Thank you for visiting my blog & re-introducing me to your family. I can't believe what a difference a year has made. Can I still see your travels on baby jelly beans? I would love to see your journey.
