Giving Thanks for...(761-770)

761. Beautiful sunshine today
762. A 95% finished bathroom project! Yea!
763. That Dan and his job fit each other. That's a real blessing, as I'm sure anyone who doesn't have it can attest.
764. Overseas packages
765. New friendships for my kids
766. Slumber parties in front of the fireplace. We popped popcorn, the kids slept in sleeping bags and Dan & I on the air mattress...we all had fun. Even Blue. See how Jack shared his sleeping back with him? (excuse the phone camera shot at night...)
767. Reading aloud to my kids the same books my parents read aloud to me
768. March being only a day and a half away. We're over the hump, people!
769. Pictures colored with love by Adele and given to me with great ceremony
770. the Lord helping us through some stressful situations of late

Can I really be 3/4ths of the way through already?? Wow!

751. Loads of glorious sunshine today!
752. A surprise holiday for Dan today (he didn't know it until late last week), so he gets to enjoy #751
753. A visit (albeit too short) with an old friend
754. The way Jack has started using my phrases back at me. For instance, "...just a little tiny bit???" and "that's such bummer!"
755. Beautifully brilliantly bright flowers during the winter

756. Warm piles of laundry that smell so good (I rarely buy scented fabric softener so I really notice it when I use it!)
757. How much good fresh air is for our kids
758. Mornings when I can wake up slowly over a cup of coffee because the kids are playing nicely and there's nowhere to go too soon
759. Period books or movies during the winter - I'm reading Thomas Hardy right now, and watched some of Downton Abbey over the weekend
760. When Dan makes breakfast

Better late than never!

741. Fresh coats of paint

742. The rainbows of colors at the paint store
743. Valentine's lunch with homemade decorations
744. People in waiting rooms who are happy to chat with our kids or listen to their high-volume chatter
745. Seat warmers
746. the grace of God that allows me (some days) to be happy and positive when Dan gets home, not always out of patience and energy
747. My mother's undying interest in what is going on around the world. I can always rely on her to keep me updated. Several times a week, I hear, "I was reading a Wall Street Journal article the other day and...."
748. A return to the peace and quiet of a fresh snowfall
749. Both kids being back to healthy and sleeping well again
750. Our house. I used to be irritated at so many things (no storage, etc.) but many of them are turning out to be blessings in disguise (with very little storage, I'm forced to pare down everything, which makes life so much easier!)
