Thankful on Monday

I'm not sure Kota was even aware that she was sleeping next to the baby. Either that, or she thought wow this child is so much calmer than the other two, I think I can sleep next to her.

But either way, it made me laugh. And since this may be the only time in Avery's life that Kota will sleep next to her, I have it documented.

I'm always tempted to not be very fond of Mondays. After a fun weekend with John home, it just seems like not nearly as much fun to start the week off by myself. With three kids.

So that's why this has been good for me, to keep track of my blessings and what I'm thankful for on Mondays. It forces me to see the good side of a Monday. Oh, it's there. You just have to look really (sometimes really, really) hard at times.

Continuing to count my blessings:

61. a baby's umbilical cord finally coming off and the cheers of the older siblings

62. a sweet friend who picked up my two kids for the afternoon

63. another sweet friend who is delivering dinner this evening

64. weekends at home, enjoying family

65. going to the Loft for the first time in over a year

66. birds flooding our feeder

67. sweet siblings who entertain each other (and me!) so well

68. banana pudding milkshake from, where else? CFA

69. walks around the block, breathing in fresh air

70. good doctors who care about my health and comfort (still fighting some kind of infection, going back to the doctor again tomorrow)

71. a happy, full bellied baby

72. flowers poking through the dirt

73. Ibuprofen

74. freshly folded laundry

75. photographs of moments captured in time

What a great pic! How old is Kota now? You had her when you lived in Poky right?

MEGAN RESPONDS: Yes, Suzy, we did. She is 14 years old now. :)

What a sweet photo! I love weekends at home. I am so happy that I have been seeing birds come back to the feeders. I love spring breaking through the dirt. I hope you are feeling better soon! I really enjoyed your gifts!

And so it’s Wednesday and now there are all the Walk with him Wednesday posts to read – but I’m not done with Multitude Monday quiet yet :) First – the cat and baby picture – 1,476 shades of awesome. :)

My favorite “thank you” from yours list today was: - 74. freshly folded laundry (I’ve read lots of lists this week – and my favorite on two of them was clean sheets – and now this one – I sense a pattern) {smile}

This was kind of a joy to read today. Thank you. (◠‿◠)

God Bless and keep you and all of yours.
