Gratitude



I know Thanksgiving is still a week away, but one thing I'm thankful for is our ability to travel and because of that we'll be down in Asheville so I won't be around to list out things that I'm thankful for this year.  So I thought I'd do it in advance.

- I'm thankful for a beautiful, healthy daughter.  I am amazed every night that she loves the routine of going to bed.  Putting jammies on, bouncing on the bed, then kissing Maddy goodnight, snuggle reading stories and after the last one she says "turn light on"  (she's got the on/off mixed up), we turn the closet light off, kiss her goodnight and put her in the crib and cover her with blankets and leave.  Sometimes it's a little harder when we are in unfamiliar places but she is good to go 98% of the time.  Her naps are more like 50% of the time.  :-)  But she still gets them.

- I'm thankful for a fun and adventurous husband who is willing to get out hiking at a moment's notice.

- I'm thankful to live in a beautiful spot where we have met some fun and interesting people who also have children and that Mat enjoys his job.

- I'm thankful for an amazing family who is willing to travel to visit us or open up their homes for us to come stay in!
