Sweet, sweet post.

Glad to hear your dad made it through his surgery, and I must say, I'm addicted to Parenthood. Yes, that's real-life, messy and yelling and loving all at the same time.

Such a fun list over the last two weeks. I'm also glad you made it through surgery safely. Love the picture of Bennett seriously holding on to the baseball with his cousins!

Thanks to the idea you gave me a few weeks ago, we also often go out for walks and look for stuff to put in our 'treasure box'- Jack really loves it!

I found you over at Ann's blog. I am counting too.

Beautiful list this week! And I love all of the pictures, especially the one of Bennett with the pizza (his face is SO sweet) and him holding Eli's bat - so cute!

That's awesome that your sister is reading "One Thousand Gifts"!
