Thankful Tuesday

I can't believe it's been a week since I posted. I have other things I need to get up, but we had an unexpected out of town trip this weekend, so things have been busy. I will try to do better! Here's today's list, although I think it's now actually Wednesday.

1. Air conditioning!

2. That my MIL's bad tire got her to Jonesboro when she could have easily had a blow out this morning.

3. That we were able to get it fixed late this afternoon before she had to go back.

4. For a great visit with Kevin's cousin and wife this past weekend. Although it wasn't under the best circumstances, we loved meeting and getting to know his wife and Kevin being able to reconnect with his cousin.

5. Friends who are your friends no matter what - even when they themselves are going through hard things or busy.

6. My Tupperware Fridgesmart containers. These cherries and grapes are 2 weeks old and these bananas were bought on Friday. Normally they would be turning dark by now but they look just like when I bought them. I love buying fruit and knowing we will mostly eat it before it goes bad.

7. Samuel has made great progress in the past week with his pencil grip. I'm thankful to a great friend who gave me lots of great advice (more on this later this week).

8. Tyler is now at the age where he and Samuel can play nicely in the floor together. Tonight they played Duplos in the floor while I made dinner and afterwards as we watched Deadliest Catch.

9. I'm thankful for where I live. While it's a small city and doesn't always offer some of the things larger cities do, we live in a city with great parks and activities through various non-profits and businesses. Friends in larger cities are often amazed by what we have that they don't.

10. Our library. Again, my friends around the country are amazed at what our children's library offers. It's especially great in the summer when you need things to entertain little ones.
