Thankful Thursday


Happy Thursday!  Today I am linking up with Black Tag Diaries and Our Family of Four as part of their Thankful Thursday posting.  We have a new motto in our house:  No Complaining.  Since gratitude and complaining are mutually exclusive, I need to join in and am honored to do so.

1)  Family and friends

First and foremost, we are incredibly thankful for our family and friends.  We are always appreciative, but we have been especially reminded of how invaluable those relationships are since the arrival of William George in July.  Knowing that we have five grandparents that we can call for back-up at a moment's notice provides amazing peace of mind, and we are grateful to have our family close by.  We are so fortunate and blessed to have a strong support system of family and friends. 

2)  Rain

No matter how crazy rain makes our schedule, I have vowed to never again to complain about rainy weather.  We received an absolute downpour of rain last week (read:  monsoon), and it made our school schedule c-r-a-z-y, what with trekking in and out of school with two four-year-olds and a two month old.  Our new rain gear performed flawlessly, and Baby George came through the experience with only a single, solitary rain drop on his head.  He did not melt. 

3)  Autumn

Fall is my favorite season, and I am really looking forward to cooler weather, that will hopefully be conducive to many afternoons and weekends at the park.  We are definitely ready to see some fall foliage, wear cozy sweaters and walk across leaf-strewn sidewalks. 

What are you thankful for today?
