one short
this week there's just been three of us around the house...
it's quiet. really quiet.
and though i often find myself just wanting five seconds of silence to think straight on most days,
i am missing my favorite three year old.
he's having a BLAST with grandma and grandpa,
and we are so glad that he is having a wonderful time and making great memories...
but i know jake and i (and julia too!) are looking forward to seeing ben on saturday.
sending lots of love to you ben - and grandma and grandpa too!

a beautiful day
i woke up this morning to three smiling faces,
a sweet handmade card,
and a bag of the best coffee beans in the world.
this was followed by a super yummy breakfast of french toast, fruit and bacon.
and two of the best lattes ever (made with my 18 year old cappucino maker!).
all prepared by my dear husband and kids.
can't think of a better present!
i am so thankful for each day i spend as a wife and mother.
each day is such a treasured gift.

keeping my grass green
so after the post from yesterday,
i am feeling much more hopeful, happy and thankful.
this brings me to something that's often on my mind -
the grass is always greener.
i am totally guilty of letting my mind wander to other lawns.
but it's time to focus on my own turf.

tonight i am thankful for..
my husband returning home from a four day work trip. i've missed him dearly, and so have ben & julia. we are super happy to have dad home again!
our two children sleeping peacefully in their room, under our roof.
taking julia to the doctor today. i thought it might just be me suspecting things and worrying too much, but turns out she does have an ear infection. we've got her medicine going and we are looking forward to our "happier" julia returning soon.
late nights spent drafting/drawing that help provide for our family and help us work on some big goals.
staying up late to make sure a certain someone's new angry bird shirt is washed and ready to wear to story time at the library tomorrow - a surprise gift from dad for ben. you should have seen that boy smile!
a small home. i can barely cannot even keep this one cleaned & decorated the way i would like - why would i want something better? space is highly overrated.
my laundry room in the basement. walking the stairs is good for my health (and all the dirty laundry piles are out-of-sight).
living in a small town.
limited choices for shopping and dining in our small town. this makes sticking to a budget much easier!
pinterest.
all of our wonderful family & friends.
tomorrow is thursday - my favorite day of the week!
clean sheets on our bed and a great book calling my name. good night.
