Thankful for Thursday

Things I'm thankful for on this sunny Thursday:



1. Summer fruit. And kids who are summer fruit lovers. I cannot get enough. I think it is one of my favorite things about the summer. The winter is so bleak with only apples and oranges to choose from.




2. I'm so thankful this is not in my kidney anymore. Yep. Another kidney stone. That's two this pregnancy. I mean, is it not enough that I have to birth a child? I don't recall ordering a side of kidney stones, reflux, vericose veins, and extreme summer heat with the baby. Of course, I didn't actually order the baby either. God just decided to give it all to me 'on the house.' And I'm glad he did. (Oh, and be thankful that I'm not sharing with you the details of how this kidney stone was retrieved...)



3. Built-in Car Wash. I put my feet up and read a book while the kids went after it with the hose and dishwashing liquid.



I promised an icy pop to anyone who helped make the car shiny. :)



4. 12 years of marriage to my best friend. Last month we celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. But since I met him in 1995, Jeremy's been my protector, my provider, my main source of laughter, my partner, and my friend. (Anna took our picture before we went out to celebrate. Thus the leaning mantle.)
