It has not been a week where gratitude was the easy choice. It has been a week where complaining, whining, early bedtimes, daily naps, snotty tissues, headaches, and half filled medicine syringes have abound. I can say through it all I am thankful that Sam and I have continued to email our daily list of thanks to one another.
