Things I am grateful for...

I have just been thinking about some things that I am really grateful for, at this exact moment in time. I always seem to forget all my blessings I have, so hopefully, just writing them down, I can remember that today was a good day, and I am very blessed.

1. Parker is taking a nap. Without me. (Okay, with his dad, but at least I didn't have to fight that battle!)

2. Ben is home for 4 days! Yeah! This last work rotation went by really fast!

3. It is almost spring time. "Our" tree is in bloom. When we first bought our house, we planted this tree. He was such a little guy at the time. (Yes, he even has a name. Clevey. He's a cleveland pear tree.) Look how big he has grown!4. I mailed off all the dvd's today. Very thankful for that. Now I can share it with all my siblings. I hope you all enjoy it!

5. Parker went "pee-pee" in the potty not once, but TWICE! Yeah!

6. I get to look at this little guy everyday. He's been sick. We took him to the doctor yesterday, and he has an ear infection. With some medicine, he is doing much better, and I am sleeping more at night. :) Even with pretzels all over his face, he is so dang cute! I am grateful he is feeling much better. And I am especially grateful he can entertain himself while I writing this blog.

7. Last week I did one scrapbooking page. Just one. But I am very proud of it. I "scraplift" a lot. I look at other people's pages, and then I get inspired, and then make it my own. This page was entirely MY idea. I didn't copy anything from any one else! Yeah!

8. I am grateful I can wear earrings again! It's been a LONG time since I have attempted any earrings. (I almost think I wore some on Mother's Day last year!) My sister-in-law got me these for Easter, and I love love love them!

I know I should be thankful for all my blessings. Even the small things that make me happy. :)
