Multitude Monday XXXIV




I am thankful:


January 3, 2011


1840.  that I don't feel so tired
1841.  for weather that allows Sam and I to run with Bennett in the stroller
1842.  that Bennett is beginning to mimic our play
1843.  that B now anticipates and gets excited over things that occur in our daily routine
1844.  for fellow bloggers who inspire me to keep working to improve my hobbies, as long as I am passionate about them


January 4, 2011


1845.  to catch up with friends

I want to tell you that I love your 'grumpy day' thankful post. That is such a beautiful truth, and I appreciate the honest way you wrote it. Thanks for keepin' it real, girlfriend! ;) I have those days too...

Kindra said...

I second what Melanie said! I can always count on you to keep it real :) I hope you're feeling less overwhelmed and more rested. I'm impressed that you got all of your Christmas down - we're still going strong over here, although there's a competition going on between the tree and the toys, and I think the toys are going to win :)

You little man's chubby cheeks remind me of my son when he was that little. Enjoy them! One day you'll wonder where they went and how your baby officially became a boy!

Your pictures, your art, they make your thankful list stunning every week.

My faves:

• naturally 1844
• 1850 – I think that’s astounding – makes me smile
• 1860 – wow – really – excellent
• 1867 – it’s a miracle isn’t it?

May God Bless and keep you and yours this day
