Spring at last?

We can hope, right?  We just got back from a trip to Idaho, and they had SNOW.  Ridiculous!  It's MARCH for goodness sake!  Today, though, it's absolutely gorgeous outside.  Pretty enough for strolls along the river.  I love that walking is something that we all enjoy together.

Here's more of my "thankful list."  I am blessed.

50. Ripples on the water

51. Sunny afternoons for playtime in the back yard

52. That my babies don't have breathing problems even though 2 of them started out with apnea and other lung issues.  THANK YOU GOD!

53. The way my dog barks at "Veggie Tales".  For some reason he and Larry the Cucumber don't get along.

54. Anticipating having tea with my mom.

55. Watching my boys play with "punch balloons"

56. Babies chasing bubbles

57. Baby bell cheese

58. My orchid

59. Love notes in dry-erase markers left for me on my bathroom mirror

60. Broken reflections of the mountains on the water

61. Paper chains made by little hands… on each link something written for which they are thankful.

62. New nieces and nephews

63. Trips to see friends and family

64. How gentle the Asher-man was with his new cousins.

65. Messes made by babies having fun.

66. Coming home after a few days away

67. Taking walks along the river

68. That my husband loves me enough to do things for me… Just because.

Just a side note...  the kids have been making a paper chain of things that they're thankful for.  Every link has something written on it.  It's growing every day.  I'm loving that this is becoming a family thing.
