One Mom's Year of Gratitude: Day 353.
http://momsyearofgratitude.blogspot.com/2009/12/day-353.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. I know I already wrote about Dylan's favorite words, but seriously, it is getting better and better. I am grateful for Dylan's imagination. Not only is she working "frank" and "damage" into everyday conversation (and all characters in pretend play/dollhouse are named.you guessed it), but she has added some more words to her favorites. Dylan's Favorite Words, Dec. 19, 2009. December 19, 2009 at 8:36 PM. Wow Im speechless. What to say? Oh, Dylans got no shoes, got no shoes.).

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. I had heard good things about the Wonderland Express. An exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden which had several trains running through a nature wonderland. One man had crafted various Chicago landmarks out of different forms of nature and it all worked together seamlessly to form a really cool exhibit! I am grateful for family outings.

Sunday, December 27, 2009. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. I've been struggling with headaches lately (may have something to do with trying to give up caffeine again.or eating trace amounts of dairy? Don't know). And so this morning when I wanted to be looking forward to going to my parent's cabin with the whole family for the day, I was annoyed to wake up with another headache. Ugghh. I am grateful for pain medicine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, December 14, 2009. I didn't mean for her to take a nap.but OK! So then I leisurely started dinner ahead of schedule so I could leave and take Dylan to violin and come back and have it pretty much ready. I was making Yellow Split Pea Dal. I am grateful for helpful neighbors. And so 20 minutes later she was down with her twin girls and I was briskly jogging to the store. Score! 74 cents and 6 minutes later, I was back home and back on track with dinner. Thanks, Maggie!

Monday, December 28, 2009. I blinked. Guess what happened? The baby that was in my womb so snug and warm, who was birthed in less than three hours of labor, who was taken from my arms, who I wasn't allowed to feed, who was so critical.but still mine, YOU are no longer a baby. I am grateful for growing up. I am equally sad, nostalgic, and happy for this milestone. This special baby of mine is no longer a baby, and no longer in a crib, but in his very own Big Boy Bed! With a capital B! What a fun room!

One Mom's Year of Gratitude: Day 350.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. I am grateful for the patience of my family. Often if the kids are hungry they are hanging at my feet whining, "Can I have a snack? And I just cannot cook like that. So tonight, Jason had the kids in the other room for the last 40 minutes of my cooking and I was listening to Christmas music, checking my recipe twice and sipping Beaujolais. Thank you Jason, because tonight when I said, "40 more minutes" you didn't say "Really? December 18, 2009 at 4:47 PM. I'm a mother of two...

Tuesday, December 15, 2009. I am grateful for Christmas books! I love Christmas books. I guess I have to love them. Both my mom and aunt Jeanie have given me a Christmas book every year that I have been alive - and so my collection is thick (30x2 plus others). It's so much fun to get all my Christmas books out each year and is like a walk down memory lane as we read them, now with my own children. December 15, 2009 at 8:35 PM. December 15, 2009 at 11:53 PM. Jesus was born in a hot dessert?

Friday, December 18, 2009. Thursday, December 17, 2009. I am grateful for wrapping presents! I largely underestimated the interest my kids would take in this task this year. Dylan was my "writing girl" who did the names on some of the packages. And Noah was my "tape boy" who got me almost every last piece of tape I needed to wrap around 20 presents. That's a lot of tape!

Sunday, December 20, 2009. Because of Advent, and with the help of this wonderful devotional for women, I've been doing a lot of thinking about waiting. I'm not a very good waiter. I am anxious, impatient, and often annoyed at the waiting. I just want to get it over with and get the good part here.or the bad part over with, depending on what I'm waiting for. From Sacred Journeys: A Woman's Book of Daily Prayer. By Jan L. Richardson:. I am grateful for the words of Jan Richardson.
