...give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Giving thanks for...
21. An impromptu tea party with my middle man. We have a cookies and milk party planned next. Big Brother is at camp this week.
22. A Sunday evening double rainbow, just when I most needed to see it.
23. The professor filling up my car and getting it ready to drive to camp.
24. A beautiful morning spent driving through the country {to camp and back} listening to Ray Charles.
25. Baby seemingly down to five {sometimes six} feedings a day. Much easier.
26. A hug and, "Mommy. I wuv you, Mommy," from Little Brother.
27. Fresh peaches. And, tomato sandwiches.
28. Nursing and holding Baby. When we were at the lake with friends a few weeks ago a much older mother admonished me to, "Hold her... hold your babies as much as you can. Before you know it they'll be too grown-up to hold." I've tried to take this wisdom to heart, not just with the baby but also with the boys. There are a lot of useful {and silly} baby contraptions out there; I'm thankful that feeding sister requires me to sit quietly with her snuggled close.
29. An afternoon cat nap in the dim nursery because baby and I both fell asleep in the rocking chair.
30. Homemade waffles for dinner. Everyone enjoyed them.

Mmm, waffles for dinner is the best! Thank you for sharing what you are thankful for, it helps me to remember even the little things when life is chaotic :)
I love all of those wonderful little things!
Even in the craziness, it's amazing how much there is to be thankful for when we slow down, stop, and count.
Blessings upon blessings.
You are so wise!
Give Thanks ... for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Good medicine! Your pictures, too.

It's the little things that make life the most enjoyable. And your older friend is right, babies grow up but the memory of them in your arms will last forever.
