7 years ago

I was on my way from Chicago to the Quad Cities.

It was unexpected.

I had just arrived back to Chicago after a Thanksgiving weekend with everyone.

I was numb. I don't remember much from the ride...

only that I didn't want there to be any reason for the phone to ring.

It was a long stay in the NICU for baby and another unexpected stay in the hospital for her mom. Another car ride that I can't really remember...

...because those memories are being layered over with so many wonderful new ones.

I mean, look at this girl go!

Nothing will stop her.

7 years of a sweet girl and her strong mama.

That's something to be thankful for.

After 2 years of a crack in my entire line of sight...

...I have a shiny new windshield! Beep! Beep!

Crazy cat lady

It's hard to concentrate with all of this fur on my lap.

Working from home today.

I caught them.

This is one of the many benefits of being self employed and having a flexible schedule.

Our little living gifts

Jason and I put up a small fake tree this year. See, we have these lil curious guys roaming around the house and they have made it their mission to get into EVERYTHING.

After repetitively trying to climb up the 4.5 foot pre-lit tree, getting doused with shots of water, and trying again, they both tuckered out and all was forgiven.

This was the sweetest thing to witness. She had me be the preschool teacher and she was the kindergarten teacher. It basically centered around coming up with names and then matching a baby with that name. Then she split them up into my classroom and her classroom. Then we started all over. She's the best. :)

What I'm most thankful for.

This was meant to be my Thanksgiving Day offering. But my attempts at mobile blogging failed. I'm going to cheat and play catch up for the other days. Deal with it.
