Shadows

One of my favorite things- the sun. This morning my car informed me it was 24 degrees outside, so the shining sun has been much needed. From inside our warm home, it doesn't look quite as cold outside. The sun also creates some beautiful shadows. For the sun, for our warm home, for these shadows, I am thankful.

I Voted

Today I voted. Covey & Ella joined me; Rylee got to vote in his classroom. He was so excited about it. Unfortunately, or quite fortunately, I think he has my interest in politics. After Ry's vote, he received a flag sticker; after my vote, Covey got an "I voted" sticker. For all of this & voting especially, I am thankful.

Haircuts

The boys got haircuts today. This is their second time in the salon- I sort of feel funny taking them in, it seems like such an easy task to manage at home. HA! They scream, cry, beg for it not to happen. Take them to the salon? They sit there, calmly, & enjoy every minute of it. Silly boys- & now with less mop-tops. For that, I am thankful. p.s. thank you Emily at Bloom.

She Crawls

EllaGrace is crawling. She's getting up on all fours, & more. She favors placing her butt in the air & standing on her toes, as somewhat demonstrated in photo #4. At this point, she's more in the army crawl stage, but it gets her clear across the living room & into the kitchen. She likes to snatch things along the way. Luckily the boys are on the constant hunt for 'choking hazards,' as Covey refers to anything on the ground. We also got the gate up, a priority for our large stairwell. For all of this, I am thankful.
