I'm Thankful

I am thankful for so many things these days.  I could make a very long list, but I will keep it short mainly because my brain is soooooooo very tired.

1.  My happy healthy boy.  E makes my heart smile.
2.  My happy healthy baby growing inside of me.  He too makes me smile from my heart.
3.  My husband.  Not only does he make my heart smile, he makes me laugh.  He makes me laugh REALLY hard.  I like that our marriage has a lot of laughter.  I think it is important.
4.  My family and friends.  My circle of family and friends is a small one, but a tight one at that.  Growing up, I had a very large circles of people around me, and now as an adult I value having fewer people in my life.  But those people that are in my life really know me and I know them.  I would do anything for them and they for me.  I'm thankful for small-tight circles!
5.  My new job.  My new job makes my brain feel like it could explode with all the information I need to learn daily, but that is a good feeling.  I don't like to be bored, and bored I am not!
6.  I have 3 weeks left of chemistry.  I have to toot my own horn here-I have a perfect score in the class right now.  I was dubbed the "smart mom," which makes me laugh.  I was not a good chemistry student 13 years ago the first time I took it (ask Andrea-she was my lab partner).  I hung for dear life in that class and barely made a C.  I think having so many things going on, it makes me focus and makes the class worth while.  Every class is a sacrifice to be there, so it makes it easy to apply myself because of what I am giving up to be there (time with my boys).  I have 1 test and one final left...I am thankful I am almost done.  I am ready to just focus on learning my new job and finishing out this pregnancy!

Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to these days.

 E sporting his new track suit.  He thought he was pretty cool.  He told me he looked "addsom" or handsome.

 Making cookies-this boy loves being in the kitchen, much like his dad.

E's room is all but done.  I just have to hang a few things on the wall before I post the final pictures up. Here it is with the gray primer over the wainscoting.

Happy late Thanksgiving-I hope it was a blessed one for you!
