Today I give thanks for...
Both my kids are reading...reading for pleasure. Like most parents, I read to them from the time they were babies. Before they could take on chapter books, I read to them most every night. Once they could read independently, they opted to do other things so to see them enjoying a book thrills me to my book loving core. This is my current stack and I'm not making much progress. I don't think I can read 3 or even 2 books at a time anymore.
My big fat hydrangeas even though they are taking over my front bed.
The rather rotund robin who takes a nightly soak in my bird bath. I get more joy out of my bird bath than I should. The tres amigos too. I'm quite envious of the owl my step-mom captured staring in their window.
The turkeys are getting big fast and they are still visiting the yard every day mostly in tact.
Ted and Cousin Gigi met up in Chicago for a visit when she was in town.
Happy hour with my dear friend Wednesday eve. She came with a much loved pinot and hunk of good cheese and it was a highlight of my week.
I have 2 photo boards done for Lily's party and 2 to go. I went a little crazy on the pictures, but I've had so much fun looking back on her beautiful life and I had a good laugh when she commented on what a little fashionista she was back in the days she let me dress her.
I found a nice set for Ted because right now he has a queen set on his full bed in Chicago. He does have three beds: one in Chicago, one in Milwaukee and one in Madison so we sometimes have to just make do.
The random pictures I sometimes find on my camera that Lils has taken.
New toys. I'm not going to lie...there are 100s of balls, mice, springs and such under the furniture, but it's easier to buy new toys than to fish them out. Here is Hazel with her new favorite...a strawberry. Hazel loves red.
