(so, technically, these are things I was thankful for on Tuesday, but I just didn’t get around to finishing this after I started)
…a garage, so that I can load kids in and out of the van without getting out in the rain. It’s easy to take this for granted until you have to park outside, which I did for 6+ weeks during the bathroom remodel and garage sale, which ran back-to-back last spring.
…Bennett keeping himself busy with a Lite Brite project, while I do laundry and clean up from breakfast.
…Vacation Bible School. Luke’s loving it, and it’s a nice break for me, too, to just have the 2 younger boys for the morning.
…the fact that Jack Henry likes to nap. See below.
…the fact that Jack Henry is meeting his development milestones. He napped great in the morning (when I started writing this) and at his afternoon nap, decided it was time to try standing in his crib. He’s been pulling up on things for more than 2 weeks, but hadn’t done it yet here. Instead of napping he did this for an hour, and then cried when he decided he was done with that game and wanted out.
Something I’m not thankful for? That it’s now time to take this out his crib. I don’t know why I love this mobile so much, but I definitely remember looking forever to find one I really liked before Luke was born. And now three babies have loved these bugs!
…good friends. We’ve been guests for lunch/dinner in two homes recently, and another friend sent a prepared meal home with me last week. Lots of nice cards, emails, and comments are still coming from friends and it’s just really nice.
…Bennett asking me, “Um, can we please play a game of Candy Land?”
…the boys building with Legos for long time this afternoon together, and then later in the day, playing with their Planet Heroes forever (they are pretending like they are making a “Planet Heroes 2″ movie!)
Anyone else want to play? You can do so in the comments or on your own blog!

jh just doesn’t want to miss out on any of the action. (that little stinker)
Hopefully, the “fun in the crib” was just a passing fancy! So darned cute though!!
This isn’t too profound, but today I was really thankful for the break in the weather – it was downright pleasant!
So. . . Jack Henry is taking after his older brother in the nap category??? At least he’s got goals he’s achieving such as pulling himself up in the crib. Napping is for slackers.
I’ve been rather whiney about my house stuff going on lately so thank you for reminding me of how much I have to be grateful for.
I’m lucky that I even have a house or a job. . . and amazing family and friends. . . just to name a few things.
