This week I am grateful for

Having the opportunity to volunteer in Rhett's class

Lucie and Hannah playing nicely-Lucie is the small one
Ethen and Ian finally playing nicely together
Going with Rhett on his first grade field trip
The girls making me a Mother's Day present at Home Depot--For anyone who doesn't know, Home Depot has a craft on the first Saturday of every month where your kids can do a free wood craft. It is so much fun! They get a little apron to work in, and a certificate and pin when they are done. I think it goes from 9:00 in the morning until noon? I am not sure

Grateful

• Lisa finally came!
• Justin made a really good dinner tonight
• Learning to carve a rubber stamp by hand-picture to be included later
• Making Dad and Adam's birthday present on time
• And finally...All of the grandkids together for the first time in two years and getting a picture of it this time

For remembering I love my children, even though they will not be obedient for a family picture

It actually being cold in Arizona
For longer than just one day
Much longer. Do you see the steam?
Finally catching the illusive Hurricane Ian. We have been trying for some time now, and nothing has worked. So we tried the stroller, and bingo! The basket did the trick. Now we can all live in harmony.

Grateful

I know, I know. I'm late. I'm still sick!!!

I never took this before...where have you been my whole life?

For my constant headaches
To help me...I don't know. Justin told me to take it. It did help me sleep, though.
For all my coughing. So good!!! There was honey-berry too. Both so good!
At night I cough more, so I drink something warm to keep me from coughing up a lung. --Although I swear I already have--

Grateful

I know it is late, but yesterday I was painting all day!!! So make this six things I am grateful for. Finishing the painting is definately on my list!!!

My children patiently waiting to open the gifts by spinning on Gramma's chair.

Beauty in my sister's back yard--or front.

My son trying to eat a whole roll in about two bites. Not grateful, but too funny!

Uncle Brandon enjoying his little niece.

The girls taking their strollers out for a test drive.
